I have developed three different versions(as different projects) of an app(large,normal,small). How can I upload them as a single app with multiple apk's. Do I need to change package names? How about Keystore? Do I need to use same keystore or different keystores for different versions. And what about version number? Do the names of apk's matter?

    I would say its actually **Bad idea** to release multiple apk of same app only for the reason of large/normal/small resolution. Instead i would suggest to launch a single app which is compatible with every devices. – Paresh Mayani Jun 23 '12 at 05:59
  • Yeah, but i have a lot of images. app size is getting huge with three type of images. – Seshu Vinay Jun 23 '12 at 06:10
  • More over its ready to upload, i cant change it now – Seshu Vinay Jun 23 '12 at 06:11
  • But still its bad idea because it will more harder to manage multiple app/apks in future if any changes or more features needs to be added. – Paresh Mayani Jun 23 '12 at 06:12

Rules for multiple APKs see the rules

All APKs you publish for the same application must have the same package name and be signed with the same certificate key.

see also other rules as well ......

To publish multiple APKs for the same application, you must enable Advanced mode in your application's APK files tab (as discussed in the previous section). Once in advanced mode, you can upload, activate, then publish multiple APKs for the same application.
