Android APK file: Re-activate older APK file in Google Play Store
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I want to know that when an user updates an app from Google playstore, Is there any way to go back to the older version of that app ?
No, once you launch the apk on Play Store whether or not it's accepted by Google you must upload a higher version or change the app configuration, I mean package name.

This to ensure you are following the policies made by the google play store.
To achieve what you want you have to change the name and app identifier inside the android manifest.
Afterwards you can just upload it to play store.

How android app can detect what store installed it?

Is it possible to find out which store my app was installed from? I have it available on Samsung store, Amazon and Google Play and I want to be able to determine which of these stores my app was installed from and prompt the user with a message like "Thank you for downloading the app from (store)..."
The method linked by FD_, sadly, is not reliable as the information it returns can be edited, and may be null in some cases.
The best way would be to have an enum, or some sort of flag in your application, and flipping that flag before building a new release for each store. Simply check the status of that flag at runtime, to determine which store the apk came from.

I made an app and published it at Google Play.
Can I change icon/name of the app/author's name after publishing app on Google Play?
Changes for existing app is not allowed without re-submission.
You need to do the upgrade in manifest file with name,auther and version-name and version-code as well.Then re-submit the app at Google Play.
Check this SO question, it might be of your interest.
#Aditya has a good answer for changing the app icon, but you also asked about changing the developer name-
Yes, you can change this as well. Open up the Developer Console, then go to the settings tab. The first option is the developer name.
Be aware, however, that this will change the developer name for all of the apps published under that account.

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