Is it possible to Publish app with existing app name?

Hi,


We have an App in appstore named as "ABCD for ipad". Now we developed new app using xamarin and our app name is "ABCD".


Is it possible to publish my new app?

If yes , will it affect already existing app because it is for ipad and our new app is universal that means it is also for ipad.


Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can publish two apps with very similar (but not identical) names. It shouldn't affect your existing app (except perhaps sales and/or confusion on the app store on which version to download).

This seems to be the same topic as yourother thread*...but it may be about more than just the name.


If the apps are different and the names are different, then as chuck notes you can go ahead...however - are the apps in question the same, otherwise? Do they do the same things with the same features?


Also, if they are, is it important to keep the same users?
