We published a android application on google play store, the google play console said it's published. But we search our application in google play store it didn't show the application. When search the application with package name of our application it shows only in some devices. We didn't restrict any devices while publish the application.
First we publish a application that was removed by google play for violating 'Google Play Developer Program Policies', we lost the old keystore file, so we change the package name and publish the application and it published. But it didn't show when we search by it's app name. We name the application as the first one removed from play store.
we think the name of the application is same as the old one that was removed is the problem for that not showed in search list. We need solution for this.

I have a private (Enterprise) app in Google Play. It is not in the Public Play Store, only in the Managed Play Store. I have already released it to the company's users through Google Play Console (from where my EMM makes it available to users).
But I am unhappy with the delay I get when I do a release from Google Play Console. So now I want to publish it directly via my EMM (Citrix Xenmobile) using Google's iFrame:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/answer/9146439?hl=en
But I get the error:
“Upload a new apk file with a different package name”
It seems that this method tries to create a new app/developer entry instead of using the existing private app information for that package name.
Questions:
Is this method really faster than when releasing through Google Play
Console? Or does the app go through the same processes regardless of
which method I use?
Is it possible to use this method and not having
to delete/unpublish the app from Google Managed Play?
The play store won't allow a second app with the same packageName to be uploaded, an error will be thrown stating that packageName already exists
This applies to any google play store, if you uploaded the APP on private play store, you cannot upload it on the public play store and vice versa.
And as for the time it takes it's usually the same across platform, updates on the other hand are published really quick.
I have installed an old version (4.0) of my application manually. In Google Play store I have already uploaded a new app with the same package name and incremented the app version to version 5.0. But Google Play store does not show the "Update" button.
This will only occur when the old app is installed manually.It will show the "Update" function on Google Play store.
The update dialog will only show if all of the following are true:
The current user has already installed the app once (on any device), that is, it is in the User's library. This can be checked in the Ply store app by looking in the "My apps and games" menu under "Library"
The package name (application id) for the app is the same
the app is signed with the same key as the the app is published with on the Play store. In the case of Apps enrolled into Google Play app signing, this has to be the Play store key, not the upload key
My apps are removed by Google Play, I hope to delete or hidden them from my app listings, how can I do? Thanks!
BTW, I can't unpublish the removed app from google play.
And more, I have read the article How to remove application from app listings on Android Developer Console

No, you can unpublish but once your application has been live on the market you cannot delete it. (Each package name is unique and Google remembers all package names anyway so you could use this a reminder)
The "Delete" button only works for unpublished version of your app. Once you published your app or a particular version of it, you cannot delete it from the Market. However, you can still "unpublish" it. The "Delete" button is only handy when you uploaded a new version, then you realized you goofed and want to remove that new version before publishing it.
and after the update on may 2018 :
Delete an application or a game
You can permanently delete your draft apps or games from the Play
console. You can also delete:
published applications or games that have not been installed on any
device.
published applications or games that no user has the right to
reinstall.
In this case, contact our support team to request the final deletion
of your app or game data.
I have an application and my company installs this application in the device and then sell it to customers.
Later on, when I host new version of the same application in Google Play store, whether Google Play store will be able to notify users that an updated version of the application is available?
And whether an application can be updated from Google Play store?
Yes.
Regardless of the method used to install the app (pre-installed, via direct APK, in debug from a computer, ...), if the Play Store has an app with the same package name, the same certificate and a higher version code, it will trigger the update.
Yes, it's possible to update pre-installed APK apps through Google Play Store. The app needs to have the same package name. Refer to this Android Developer support article, particularly the "Updating system apps" section
The user’s system apps (including any pre-loaded apps) are shown in
the My Apps section of the user's device in the Google Play store as
soon as an application with the same package name is uploaded to the
Google Play Developer Console, even if the application is unpublished
I uploaded the apk file to google play store. But i cannot find my project from google play store when i search my package name. How can i do for searching on google play store to detect my application.?
If your application name is for example The Best Application Of The World, and you are using Google Plays search, it will propably not show your app in search results. But if you enclose the name with quotes like "The Best Application Of The World" then Google Play search should show only your app and nothing else (if it is published).
First assure your application successful published at right side of google play console.
If successful publish then it will appear in with a 1-24 hours.
I think it just has to do with Google's server traffic (many apps are waiting to be processed for accepting request).
Be happy it will be appear in shortly.
The apps are usually published within a few hours, but it can take longer for the search system to be updated so that's why you sometimes can't search for it immediately after it is published.
If you want to get to the app after it has been published, use the reverse domain name of your application package:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.myapplication
