Have the "someone else" sign and upload it, as it is their app, from
the standpoint of the Play Store.

Reputedly, there is some process by which you can get the Play Store
folk to transfer an app between accounts, though I am not seeing a
mention of how to do that in the Play Store docs.

Regardless, once an app is on the Play Store, the Play Store account
and signing key must both match the original ones used with that
package. So, if you do not have the signing key from "someone else" or
cannot get "someone else" to arrange to transfer the app to your Play
Store account, you cannot publish an updated version of the app.
