Upgrading already existing app on Google Play

I have uploaded an app on Google Play already. I need to scrap this existing project and create a new one and upload it as v 0.2 ? I have the old self signed certificate. What should I do in order to upload a whole new app as new version ?

First check your using the same name package and also you must have the same key (release/debug), because the key is what identifie your app, then if you change or register your app with a new key then google play will think it's a new App, and won't override the old one, also don't forget to change the android:versionCode & android:versionName in the manifest.

You should read this post about what can't change once the app is published Things that cannot change

If you want to completely change package names, you will also have to change play store listings.

If you want to save your listing, and just change apks, all you need to do is update version code in your manifest file Change the code from (for example)

android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="0.1"

To:

android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="ANYTHING YOU WANT"
