Can you delete android play store app and use the package name

Question

I have an app that's currently on the Google Play store with the package name xyz. I want to delete this app but I want to reuse the package name for a new app that I will be uploading in its place.

Is it possible ?

Answer 1

you can't delete an app from Google Play once you have published it.

 In your case, I guess you could just upload a new app with same package name. But you would have to upload it as a "newer" version of your existing app
