Android application company ID uniqueness

https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id
This document states:

This ID uniquely identifies your app on the device and in Google Play Store.

Imagine I have an application with id com.acme.timetracker. Is it possible or legal for some other company to publish application with my company prefix com.acme on the PlayStore? For example com.acme.timetrackerbold or com.acme.timetracker.bold?

Legal questions are not the scope of Stackoverflow. But from a technical standpoint it is possible for a third party to publish an application with com.acme as their package id.
