Closed 9 years ago.
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.

I uploaded my first app and realized I used the wrong package name. Now I'm wondering is there a way to change this?
If you have already published the app then No you cannot change the package name, but if it's not yet published you can just create a secondary application on the console with the right values

I already published one app in play store.After that i made some changes in the code, now i want to publish that app with different name in play store.How can i release it with out affecting the previous app,so that previous app and present app are showing in play store.
Before doing any of this please go over to: https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy/#!?modal_active=none
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.

I have read lot of similar questions but none of them answered my question
This is first time I am had uploaded an apk in google play store.
I made a mistake by uploading a developer sign key and publishing it to Alpha group.
Now I had unpublished it but it won't let me overwrite a new apk with production key.
Moreover now I can't create a new app in my profile since app with my package name already exists in play store now.
Is their something I can do now?
I really don't want to change package name, since thousands of users are already using this app from different sources. They need to get this apk with same package name and same production sign key.
Any guidance will be helpful.
Is their some way I can reach out to Google Support team?
Thanks!
EDIT: I had published it using a developer sign key we use internally for testing purpose
Unfortunately, signatures are set forever after your first publish to any channel. You'll have to create a new app with a new ID in order to get your correctly-signed app on the market.

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.

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.
