Resolving "Unable to resolve entry class" error

I've just installed the VScode extension and am trying to create a new data field. I setup the basic project and managed to get it to compile and run but then when I started to configure the project for the devices and SDK versions I actually wanted I started to get the following error:

ERROR: fenix6spro: unknown:0: Unable to resolve entry class. Check the manifest file.

But I've no idea what the error is and what I need to check in my manifest file which does include fenix6spro in the iq:products section. This is happening on a Windows 10 system running VSCode 1.61.2 and MonkeyC 1.0.0

The iq:application element in manifest.xml should have an entry attribute. e.g.

<iq:application
    id="..."
    type="datafield"
    name="@Strings.AppName"
    entry="ExampleApp"
    launcherIcon…

The iq:application element in manifest.xml should have an entry attribute. e.g.

<iq:application
    id="..."
    type="datafield"
    name="@Strings.AppName"
    entry="ExampleApp"
    launcherIcon="@Drawables.LauncherIcon"
    minApiLevel="1.2.0">

In your case, the error message is indicating that it can't find a class with that name (in my example, ExampleApp).

Thanks! that is indeed the problem. I was fixated on the 1st part of the message thinking it was an issue with the device when what had actually happened is I'd changed the entry value.
