What is the proper way to wildcard APK package names?

Environment

All Samsung devices supporting the Knox framework

Summary

The asterisk will match one or more characters before ‘*’, for example:

• com.rovio.angrybir\* => com.rovio.angrybirrrrrrr (matches one or more r)
• com.rovio.angrybird\* => com.rovio.angrybirddddd (matches one or more d)

In order to wildcard any subsequent letters, you have to describe the package name like so, with ‘.*’ (dot asterisk).

For example:

com.rovio.angrybir.\*
com.rovio.angrybird.\*
