Change the developer name in different apps

Navigation

I have a developer account on Google Play. In all the apps the same developer name appears, I would like for each to have a different developer name.

In fact, the name that appears in the store is from the "Publisher". For Google, the user who created the Google Play account is both the Publisher and the Developer, even if the real developer is someone else. Cruelly it's like a X-branded car - for the public, whoever "developed" the car was the X-brand, no matter the workers who performed the service.

To solve your problem, the following solutions remain:

  • Keep a single store and place some help section on the applications, informing the real developer of them; or
  • Keep a single store and put in the application descriptions in the store developer information, but do not think very common if you do this; or
  • Keep a single store and change the name of the application packages, according to the developer (com.desenvolvedor1.app_do_desenvolvedor1, com.desenvolvedor2.app_do_desenvolvedor2 etc.), but with this solution you can not easily verify the name of the developer and a republishing of all modified applications (download counts, comments etc. will be lost) will be required; or
  • Create a new store for each developer and transfer the applications through the following address following Google's step-by-step text, however this will mean the cost of creating new stores for developers, if they do not exist.

    • I particularly use the first solution.

    Issue 1:

    Performing a Google Play search with the text pub:XXXX , you can view the Developer applications named XXXX, which is the same Publisher ("pub" comes from "Publisher", Publisher). In the URL, https://play.google.com/store/search?q=pub:XXXX will appear.

    However, it is also possible to perform the search with dev:XXXX ("dev" from developer, Developer). In the URL, https://play.google.com/store/search?q=dev:XXXX will appear.

    Furthermore, you can perform the search using the URL https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=XXX , with XXX being your Google user account.

    The strangest thing is that by performing the search with dev and with pub we can get different results.

    For example, I have two developer accounts (I call them A and B here). I transferred the applications from account A to account after having developed 4 of them. Here are the search results:

    • dev:A : 4 applications
    • dev:B : 6 applications
    • pub:A : 3 applications
    • pub:B : 3 applications

    I'll be researching about it ...
