add package in android that has been publish in playstore

Currently, my package in androidis id.b3n.hysteria

I added some scripts for ecommerce but because of an update from the client, I want to update my package, for example:

  • id.b3n.hysteria.ecommerce
  • id.b3n.hysteria.booking
  • id.b3n.hysteria.game

Is it a problem if I upload to play store such an update? It will be a big problem if the apps must reset from 0 again.

Solution

  • Every Android app has a unique application ID that looks like a Java package name, such as com.example.myapp. This ID uniquely identifies your app on the device and in Google Play Store. If you want to upload a new version of your app, the application ID (and the certificate you sign it with) must be the same as the original APK—if you change the application ID, Google Play Store treats the APK as a completely different app. So once you publish your app, you should never change the application ID. However you can create different variant.
