A year ago I made an Android application and published it on Google Play. Now I want to update it but sadly have lost the keyfile for signing apk.
I know I need to unpublish my app from GP first, change the package name, and upload the updated apk signed with newly generated keyfiles. This way I also lose all users and ratings.
Can I make this process any less painful (meaning not losing ratings and/or users)?
I am also wondering if this way I can have the same app name?
Delete your old app and add new one. You can’t connect your old app to a new one in any way.
Do not delete old one immediately. Change it’s description asking users to move to a new application.
