We are in the process of decommissioning our app and publishing another app with the same name. The playstore has a criteria that apps must have unique names. So would it be enough to just change the name of the app in the play store listing to something else like myApp-old to satisfy the unique name criteria or should we also update the app(new version) with different name.

The name does not matter. In Android, the important thing is the Package name.

If I remember correctly, The package of your project needs to be different. for example "com.google.app"
