Is it possible to change the name of the application after it is published on Google Play?

Question

I have an app on Google Play named "Mathadict"

I want to change my name to "Math Addict".

First of all, is it advisable to do this? Because my applications have been suspended in the past, and I am very worried about this.

If so, what things should be considered? For example, I think I will have to change the value of the app_name line in the strings.xml file.

Also, how to check if a name is available for use?

Answer 1

Good to change the name. What you really cannot afford is to change the name of the package or the key that was used to sign the application. But there is no problem changing the name.

Answer 2

Yes, you can change your name for your application. Do not worry.

But remember, Google may pause the application due to some standard policies.

• Using another logo that already exists.

• Using the same application name that already exists in the play store.

So beware of such things and publish your application.

Answer 3

Changes to an existing application are not allowed without resubmission. You also need to update the manifest file with the name, author, and version name and version code. Then resubmit the app to Google Play. @ How to change the name of an Android application?
