The package name is selected from the first APK you upload for an app. You can't change the package name after this. New versions of the APKs must have the same package name and an incremented versionCode
(set in your build.gradle
and reflected in the app's manifest). Check the package attribute in your manifest file carefully before uploading the APK.
