I realised after coding my new app that it is possible to give it as an update to an older app via light weight migration. i dont mind removing the new app. Better if i can merge the Into a single product. is it possible?
New app as version 2 of another app. Is it possible?
If you use the same bundle identifier and same profile it may be possible. But if the functionality of the version 2 is not the same as version 1 , AppStore review may be a challenge.
As long as you give a new name like Example 2 as opposed to Example as the initial one with a new bundle ID, you can submit a new version. But you have to remove the old one. Some reviewers don't mind your leaving the old at the store. Most do mind and will reject your new submission. I have gone so far to Version 6 in this manner.
So I should be using the same name as the first version for the updated app? What if I remove the new version completely and give its name to the update of the old app? I have read that the name changed is allowed once.
