Change bundle ID after uploading app on iTunes Connect

Question

Recently i have uploaded application on iTunes successfully. Now my application is in Ready for Sale status.

However I made a mistake in Bundle ID. My client has requested that he wants to change the bundle id.

So I plan to create another app with new bundle id and unpublish the old one.

Couple of questions:

iTunes does not allow me to create another app with same name. (would it allow me if I unpublish the old app?)
Would there be any issue in apple review when I submit the new app for review? (as i had an old app which i unpublished)

Note: It has been only 2 days since the app has gone “ready for sale”

For question 1: I think you would need to delete the app and not just unpublish – Shoogle Aug 08 '17 at 10:28
