How can I create Android App with existing code?

Question

I developed an Android app and published it on google play. Then I lost my keystore file and now I can't update my app. Therefore, I want to create new app with my existing code.

How can I use my existing code to create the new application, porting clearly ?

Answer 1

All you have to do is change the package declarations in the Manifest and in each source file. Once it's in a different package the Google Play Store will think it's a different application and you can upload the new build.
