We have taken over maintenance of an existing app from another developer. This is a dedicated business app.
They (the developer) provided us with an updated .apk, and we set up our own google play account. We've tried to upload the .apk to the account, but the package name already exists in the previous google play account.
What are our options? Does the app need to be re-compiled with a different package name? Will the resultant app install as a new app as opposed to an update of the previous app?
As you can tell, we are pretty new to this tech.
