title: AI2 to Android Studio
body: <p>Awhile ago, I made an app in MIT's App Inventor 2. I listed the app on the Play Store and it has close to 10K installs with 84 reviews and an overall rating of 4.67. I now have learned a little more about Android Programming and use Android Studio.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I would like to do...</strong>
  Currently, I am embarking to recreate the application with Android Studio. For many reasons. Better UI, more API's Etc...</p>
  
  <p><strong>The issues I might face</strong>
  For one, I know that I will not be able to get the code from AI2 seeing as though it does not produce Java code. This is not really an issue because I will most likely be starting from scratch anyway.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the real issue. </p>
  
  <p>The keystore file will not match and the package name will not match thus preventing me from updating the app via the listing in the Playstore. This means that I can either continue with the limited capability of AI2 and retain that Playstore listing or begin developing the new app in Android Studio thus forfeiting the other Playstore listing and creating a new one from scratch  (right?)</p>
  
  <p><strong>Solutions?</strong>
  I am looking for a solution (if one exists) in which I will be able to retain the app listing reviews and ratings while rewriting the app in Android Studio. </p>
