Is it possible to publish an application with the same icon?

Question

Apple App Store

I have an old application published, I recently replaced the icon on it. In 4 weeks I plan to publish a completely new application with the same icon. Will the App Store and Google Play miss it?

Answer 1

It all depends on the review team you get into. I had many cases when they asked me to change. And at the same time, there are a lot of applications in the App Store with the same icons, and from different developers, which suggests that one of them is a primitive thief. And yet it sometimes slips through. If you really need this icon and don't want to take risks, here's the advice - remove the old application from sale before sending a new one. And after approval, open access to the old back. I have it guaranteed rolled! I don't know about Google Play...
