So we had an android app earlier with packagename
app.myapp.company
format which we wanted to change to
com.mycompany.myapp
So we created a new app with changed package name and changed the app title From
mygreatapp - app for people
to
mygreatapp - app for people :)
(as you cant have same title for 2 apps)
and uploaded it as a fresh new app to Play Store and unpublished the old app.
Observations:
Its been 24 hours since the new app has been uploaded
In dev console.
The new app is shown as "published"
The old app is shown as "unpublished"
Issues:
New users searching for our app on the playstore are still not able to find the new app.
There are no search results for "mygreatapp" for them
Old users who had the app installed on their devices, first uninstalled/ cleaned cache the old app
But still they are seeing the old app on playstore i.e.
"mygreatapp - app for people" instead of the new app below.
"mygreatapp - app for people :)"
We have checked all setings etc and all looks fine.
So, how do I make the old app dissapear and new app appear on play store.
I have already read the posts below but did not resolve the issue.
android app published, but not found in google play.
Please help
