Publish beta version on Android market

Question

I want to publish a beta version of some app of mine on the android market and face the problem that I cannot upload an app with the same packa

Answer 1

Yes call your package

com.you.app.beta

Fix all the bugs in this app. Then when you go live just copy the project refactor your package name (Eclipse CTRL+ALT+R on the item) update your manifest and re-release. The beta package is then not supported by you any more and you can even click unpublish, or release an update that shows an upgrade screen linking to the new package (i.e. new market url)

com.you.app

What's the problem?
