I'm trying to publish an app on AppGallery, but when I enter my package name for new application in console project, it says that package has already been taken. The app is published on Play Store and if your search for it in AppGallery it will find it, but the AppGallery page says that the app is "not yet available". So I assume there should be a way to publish an apk in AppGallery without creating a copy of app with different package which might break all other services that I currently use. Some apps have done it already, take for instance Telegram, Shapchat, it seems that both stores point to the same app package. The question is - how to do it?
