Is it possible to replace an app that already exists on Google Play and the Apple AppStore?

Question

Android

In Google Play and Apple AppStore there are two almost identical applications, roughly speaking, the difference is only in the icon and name.
It was decided to refuse support of one of them.
A - an application that will remain
B - an application that will be removed from publication
Is there an algorithm that allows users to replace application B with application A?

Answer 1

These are two different applications, respectively it is impossible.
You can display a message about the transition to a new application in an application that will be unpublished.
