android - Can I submit the same APK with different package name and display name to Google Play? -
I opened a Google Play developer account 4 days ago and submitted my first app. It has been more than 60 hours since the submission; The app is not found anywhere in Google Play, neither in search results; Nor directly on the link. () I have opened a ticket for support and resubmitted my APK. (Uploaded for production, not beta or alpha)
Now I wonder if it is ok to submit the same APK with different package names and it's OK to display the name to Google Play. I just want to see it through this medium. I will unpublish the second, when one of them actually goes to the market However, I do not know whether it is against TOS or something, obviously, I do not want to be blocked / restricted from the market.
I know it's complicated; But as an inexperienced developer; I need all the help.
Thanks in advance. According to the GooglePlay guidelines, You can not upload When you upload a If you change the package name while mentioning, GooglePlay will treat it as a completely separate application. So you can upload it without any problems. For reference .apk without changing code> version code .
.apk to GooglePlay , it checks whether the package name is present in the market or not. If not present, you can upload it and you can not. If you want to upload updates of the same app, then you must increase the
version code in the manifest file, sign the APK and then upload it.
