Android Question Events would cause a user to have to reinstall

I would like to know what possible events would cause a user to have to reinstall the application.

To understand the question I put 2 examples:
if I change the name of the package name. like when I find out that Firebase doesn't work if the name has capital letters.

Another example is if the user already has the app installed but it is signed with the default key. when changing the sign key the user has to reinstall.

Luckily these cases happened to me before users had the app.

What I want to know is if you know of any such cases to prevent it from happening to me after users have installed the app.

Thank you very much.
Regards.

You must be more accurate with the terms. I guess that you mean package name.

The app is identified by the package name. A different package name = different app.

uhh you're right. sorry. Edited.

But the point was understood, right? before adding Firebase to the app there were no problems with the package name. But when I added Firebase I had to rename the package for Firebase to work.
This kind of detail can happen to anyone and if users already have the app installed, it is not welcome to tell them to uninstall and install a new one. In addition to the databases being lost.
To avoid this I would like to know if you know of other events so we would have to be careful from the beginning.

Thank you very much.
Regards.
