Same app published with different appid

Hello, like in the title, I would like to know if is possible:

  • publish an app named "TestApp" with appid aaa.bbb.ccc
  • afterwards, publish the same app named "OfficialApp" with appid aaa.bbb.ddd

In our use case, the first app published will be only a test app (not published but only for testflight), while the second app will be the official one in production/store. It is possible or there are some checks about "same source code"?

Thanks in advance

AFAIK, that's not possible. You risk a refusal as a spam app.

Appstore is not a platform for testing. You should publish (even in TestFlight), an operational app, maybe lacking some features.

If the first publication is for TestFlight, why would you need to change the name and appID ? If it is a confidentiality of the name, you can change the app name only, not its ID.

Hello Claude31, thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, now we have almost the final version of the app, so the test and the final version will be pretty the same..Do you think is possible to publish now the test one, and after some days (when will be ready) the final version (probably with some small changes) with the same appId (and different name)? I mean, is possible to have a test app and an official app with the same appid like you said? The problem is that our customer still dont know the official appId of the production one..

Same app published with different appid
