  2. Apps controls and pages must respect the following naming conventions:

    1. Controls and pages cannot have same name

    2. Pages cannot have the default name of controls (for example: button, label)

      Note:

      Icons are identified as controls. Pages cannot have the default name of an icon.

    3. Page names must be unique in an app.

      Note:

      Page names are case insensitive, therefore "MainPage" and "mainPAGE" are considered duplicates.
