Upgrade BT 1.5 app to 2.0

So been using 1.5 for over a year now. Its on the Play Store..etc etc. Well now I rebuilt the app in 2.0. Im ready to upload. However, because its 2.0 and an all new app all together I cant just upload to replace my old app on Play store because the names are different. So what do I do? Delete old app (or rename?) on BT and than name my 2.0 app to that of the old app...than upload? Sorry if im confusing...

Apps ready to update the old 1.5 app on Google Play. But cant figure out how to fix the "name" issue. I dont want to deactivate the old one and make a new one because current users wont see the update. Help?

Ok, so was able to rename the app so Google play would take it. However a new issue :) The name that of the app I chose on BZ was generic since the app that is live on google play (and was built in 1.5) has the correct name. Do I delete the old app so i can use that same name? Than re-upload to Google and all will be well? My concern though is while google processes my update if anyone goes to use the app it wont work since I have deleted the app on BZ.

Can you just keep it the same name as the original and just submit the new one as an update ?

In Buzztouch or Buzztouch Self Hosted just go to the Core Properties and make sure the project name matches the previous package name. Then when you export it, it should be signed the same as the 1.5 app. You shouldn't have any problems!
