Remaking the same application with the same package name and publishing it

Title sounds funny, but here we go:

One month ago I made my first application, lets call it "app1", which was basically just me learning. Now, after making another app, I want to remake my first application "app1", because I know I can do it now much better.

Remaking it in its current state seems quite impossible for me, so I came up with an idea to just make a new project and implement my code there.

If I start a new project in android studio, give the same package name, use the same key store and everything else, if I upload the new apk file, will it be accepted as an update? Or do I have to work with the old project?

Thanks!

As long as apk has same applicationId and is signed with the same key, it will be considered as valid update on Google Play. Of course, you'll need to increment version code number.
