my application is already on play store and made in Java. Now I make it with react native language. How I can give update on play store with react native to replace Java app. Is it possible with same package name and same key store.

Anyone can give me detailed help. Thanks

Google Play doesn't care about how the app was created/implemented. As you have already guessed, it cares about the app's id and signature.

Once you rewrite your application in React Native using the same id, you can just recompile it to a signed .aab file (with the same signature), upload that to Google Play and publish it as an update.

Note that you might need to uninstall and reinstall the app on your testing devices because you might likely have a different test signature when using another IDE (I assume you are probably using a different IDE when working with React Native).

Another thing to note is the application version. The version number of the update (with React Native) must be higher than the highest version number of (native Android) versions uploaded to Google Play previously.

You can use the same application id and keystore file and swap app programming languages as you wish.

What might be trickier is reading any data stored by the old version, though if your app has little or no stored data then that’s not really a problem.
