I published application and by mistake I uploaded old apk and unfortunately I have also lost my old key store. So console is not accepting new apk with new key store. Now if unpublish app,then can I publish app again with same name and package or not. What better I could do with this problem..? Or I need to change everything from application name to package. Please help.

  • You have to change your application `android:versionCode` and `android:versionName` in your manifest file only after that you can upload it with the same package name. – GrIsHu Sep 12 '13 at 05:54

You need to change packagename. Same package name not accepted again. So rename your packagename with new keystore, publish your app again.

    Okay So I need to unpublish application first, and rename my packagename not the application name and create new apk and publish. That would solve my problem am I right. – Dory Sep 12 '13 at 06:04
  • Yes correct. If you lost your keystore then you must do this. – Hardik Joshi Sep 12 '13 at 06:06
