Is it possible to change the package name of an Android app on Google Play? -


i know whether technically possible, not whether easy or not, change actual package name of android app on google play. mean package name is, name show in url. please, can tell me why / not possible? thanks!

from dianne hackborn:

things cannot change:

the obvious , visible of these “manifest package name,” unique name give application in androidmanifest.xml. name uses java-language-style naming convention, internet domain ownership helping avoid name collisions. example, since google owns domain “google.com”, manifest package names of of our applications should start “com.google.” it’s important developers follow convention in order avoid conflicts other developers.

once publish application under manifest package name, unique identity of application forever more. switching different name results in entirely new application, 1 can’t installed update existing application.

regarding question on url google play, package defined there linked app's qualified package have in androidmanifest.xml file. more on google play's link formats here.
