App getting users while app is under review by google play - android

I have published an app on google play, last night I have submitted a 1.0.4 update for my app which is still under review, but I have noticed that new users are registering with app version 1.0.4.
But my problem is that I never shared APK with anyone, I just generated aab file and uploaded it on play console then how is it possible?
The same issue occured with my last update which I ignored. Please let me know if it is common because I naver faced this type of problem with any of my previous apps.

Would users be able to update if I uploaded an APK when previously we used AAB?

The app originally started with APKs, then we uploaded AABs. But for the most recent release, we had an oversight and uploaded an APK instead of AAB. Will users be able to update? And will they be prompted? I can't test since I do not have the previous version of the app
The upload and publication flow for both is identical.
as long as it has a higher version code the user will get the update prompt from Play Store

Deleting (NOT Unpublishing) Android App From Play Console

I've been working on my first app but haven't yet submitted it for review on the Play Console, only internal testing. Long story short, I trashed my project folder that had been configured with signing keys and am now trying to re-upload my app (recovered via Git) to the Play Console. I resigned it with new keys and as expected this prevents me from uploading my current app as a newer version of the original (now trashed) app. If I try to submit my app as a new app I receive an error:
You need to use a different package name because "com.example.app" is already used by one of your other applications.
I have a strong preference to keep this package name. Is there any way to delete the existing draft app? The only workaround I have found so far would be to create a new Google account and start fresh. Any help is appreciated.
I googled "delete app google play console".
This led me to this SO post that had this answer which points to this help article that says:
Delete an app or game
You can permanently remove draft apps or games from Play Console. You can also delete:
Published apps or games that haven't been installed on any devices
Published apps or games that no users are entitled to re-install
In these cases, contact our support team to request that your app's or game's data be permanently deleted.

Problem while submitting app update on google play store

i have an app on play store and when i submitted an update i got an email that it has been rejected due to policy violation because of an issue with the ads of the app. I fixed the issue and uploaded a new update yet after 8 days both versions are showing "in review".There is not a mention of the issue on the google play console or a way to cancel that version and keep only the new one from what i see. Any ideas how to solve this issue? Its an app bundle made with flutter.
In review means that google is checking it for something, maybe malware, maybe breaking the google policy etc. Its best if you contact google and ask why.

How to test Android In App Billings--I've tried "everything" but no luck

I am trying to get a list of Android In App Billings (IAB) in my app--subscriptions specifically. While debugging on device (NOT EMULATOR) When it makes the call to get the products I get this error error occurred while loading products: Error: IAP not prepared. Check if Google Play service is available. Here are the things that I've done:
The apk is uploaded to the Google Play Console as an alpha release.
Hours (days!) have passed and the release is available (I can see it in Play Store).
I added the in app purchases in the Google Play Console.
I added a gmail account as a tester in the Google Play Console in both the general settings area and the list of testers for a release.
I installed the apk that has the same version number AND version name as the apk that is in alpha in Play Store
I am using a real device (not an emulator)
I am signed in as the tester email account.
My AndroidManifest.xml has the BILLING property set
It should be noted that I am using react-native and this package for in app billing https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap although I think the issue here is I have missed one of the general steps necessary to set up in app billings for Android. Any ideas or guidance would be appreciated--I've been fighting this for days now!
Can you please provide code you are using?
According to this issue answer: https://github.com/dooboolab/react-native-iap/issues/301 please make sure you are initializing IAB using initConnection not prepare.

I want to un-publish my published android application on play store. I tried to un-publish but getting error message
This configuration cannot be published for the following reason(s):You
must have at least one active APK.
Please suggest me how to unpublish it.
Sounds like you tried to unpublish the last published apk but its not how you unpublishing app. To unpublish app you need to click 'unpublish app' button next to the app's icon.
