You will have to uninstall the old version and then install the new one, as Android doesn't allow updates to be installed if they have a different signature.

Additionally, all of your users will have to do the same, and App stores like Google Play won't allow you to use an update signed with a different key. You will have to publish your app again under a different package name.

Just change your Package Name and change that in androidManifest file also and Upload with new KeyStore. No other way. Because google won't allow you to upload another application having same Package name.
