Some one can help me, I have a problem when upload a new version of my app, I signed with release certificate but when new version is publishied users can't see "update" option only "open" even they has previous version of app. The problem began when I sign new apks from another laptop, but always using the same certificate.
I tried sign it with previous Gradle version and doesn't works.
If you changed the app version in the gradle and the Google Play Store ACCEPTED your new app version, you should just wait 24/48 hours, sometimes it takes just a lot of time to display new uptdates. If you still not find the app update after a few of days just post some screenshots and we'll provide to help you.
Happy coding!

I have published my first release of android APP on Google Play console, Its not approved yet (Still In Review for 5 days now).
I found that the app has an error and will crash on start.
I want to discard the first release and publish the new one which contains the fixes.
I think my app still in review for 5 days now because it crashes and I want to fix it but don't know how.
If I try to publish a new release on Google Play, it says "You cannot remove all production APKs and Android App Bundles"
Any Help
I have actually uploaded an update version of an app before its first release was approved and published. (The reason was I forgot obfuscation...) It was approved and published later without problem.
But I can't understand your saying:
If I try to publish a new release on Google Play, it says "You cannot
remove all production APKs and Android App Bundles"
If you tried just uploading an update version, I can't understand why it led to remove all production.
If you didn't just upload an update version but you tried to remove or something, you might doing something wrong. But you didn't disclose detail about that, nothing could suggest anymore.
I think you just exit upload window. Find button "сontinue uploading" in versions section and upload yours's new version of application.
I upload wrong version in android console, but i save the last one, it is the posibility to turn back into last version?
I lost the last package, i built a new one package but it is crashing in many old devices.
thanks!
Do you mean you published a wrong apk on you Google Play publish account?
Then there's no way to completely turn back to a previous version, but you can mitigate it. Just make a new publish but instead of drag&drop your apk select it from artifact library.
It should automatically change your wrongly uploaded apk to deactivated and your previous apk to retained Any user that could have download the wrong apk will still have it but at least no more users will download it.
After doing that you should upload a new apk with a new version number fixing the problem
My app is on beta version on Playstore. But I found a little problem on the code later thanks to the users. I tried to delete the old beta version and upload new one but couldn't find any menu or options like that. Do you know any or do I have to wait till releasing normal version? Thanks
Just release a new beta version and your users can update. The new beta will simply replace the old one.
If this question I'm about to ask was already asked, please just direct me to the link as I didn't find it. For the beta testing in google play, do you have to first un-publish a beta APK before the new one will take its place? Also can you upload the same version code or do you have to create a new version code with each APK upload in Beta?
The reason I ask is I was about to Beta test a new version of an application. I upgraded the application on my test phone and it crashed. I found out there was a line of code I forgot to take out for testing purposes which caused the upgrade to break. Which is funny because the testing code was testing, indirectly, the upgrade code. Anyway, so I didn't want to upload a whole new code version just overwrite the pre-existing APK upload. I was hoping this was possible due to it only being in Beta status. Also, I guess this means having to potentially wait another 24 hours for his new Beta APK upload to take effect. That was another thing I was hoping to bypass was uploading the same version in Beta would wipe out the pre-existing Beta version code so the changes would be immediately upgradable. Wishful thinking I'm assuming.
Thank You in advance.
No, you do not have to un-publish your application to upload a new Beta version. However, you must increment the version code in order to release a new Beta version. The version code must be incremented, so devices that installed your application can track whether an update is available, by comparing the installed version code to the Google Play version code.
Every time you release a new version or update your application info, it could take a few hours for these changes to propagate. In my experience, it only takes about 5 hours until people start receiving the update notification. If you are really bothered by the time it takes for new versions to be available, you could use a different app distribution service, for example HockeyApp, TestFlight, etc...
When your app is ready to production, you don´t have to unpublish, just "promote to production", you don´t have to change the versionCode.
If your Beta application has bugs, made the changes and you have to upload another .apk and yes, you have to change to the newer versionCode.
If your app was published, you can´t overwrite the pre-existing APK.
I have some questions related to updating an android app on Google Play, that I seem to find the answer nowhere. I updated an app, and after aprox an hour, I noticed a problem with that new apk, so I had to create a newer update. I read on Google Docs that an update would take up to 24 hours to be surelly released to users, so if I will update it again, would that be a problem? Will the users see only the last update? Can I deactivate an update and let only the last one to be released? I appreciate any answers!
If you notice a problem in just released version, you can deactivate it and activate the previous version (you can do that in advanced mode). Some users may get the new release in the meantime though.
You can later release a new version and users will then see this new version as the upgrade.
just sign your new apk with old keystore and got o console old app console and in you may/maynot unpublish your old version.just add new apk to production and it will update in 2-3 hours.
