New app in Google Play with same name but different package name

Question

I want to upload another apk with the same application title as one I already have (which has been unpublished). I receive:

You need to choose a different title for your app. This one is already the title of com.foo.bar.

I thought I would be able to upload the new apk as long as the package name was different. Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to create another Google Play Developer account?

Answer 1

You can rename the old app - after this you are able to create a new app with this name. No need for a second account
