How to resolve this error: The "id" field found in app.conf does not match the root folder of the application?

While adding the Splunk App to Splunk Base I am getting Error : 

 

The "id" field found in app.conf does not match the root folder of the application

 

My config: 

[install]
is_configured = 0
install_source_checksum = xxxxx

[launcher]
author = Abhinav Ranjan
description = AccuKnox App for Splunk lets AccuKnox customers and KubeArmor users send alerts from Feeder or

AccuKnox, CNAPP that just works, from Build to Runtime.

version = 1.0.0

[package]
id = SplunkforAccuKnox

[ui]
is_visible = 1
label = AccuKnox

The "id" attribute in the [package] stanza must be the app's directory name, in this case the app would be stored in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SplunkforAccuKnox.  If the directory name in the tarball doesn't match the "id" attribute then the app will not be installed.

Also, the install_source_checksum setting must be removed before installation.
