Is there a way to cancel a pending publication on Google Play Developer Console? I have accidentally sent a wrong apk file and couldn't find a way to cancel it.
I'm too late, but it helps someone.
If the app is under review, upload the original or new APK. Google will automatically publish the latest version. Make sure that the new APK has higher Version Code.
If you don't want to upload a new APK file, you can control when updates are published.
Log in to your Play Console account and click on the "Publishing overview" item on the left pane. Next, click on the manage button.
Select the first option.
Google doesn't publish your app immediately.
Here is a solution but it could't be posssible for me because I couldn't change my app's bundle ID.
It says that:
in Advanced Mode, you can cancel and upload again a new APK.

I have uploaded an application in google play console. They rejected my application due to Violation of Impersonation policy. Then I changed my logo and uploaded it again. Then they publish it on play store. When I uploaded the application in play console I Upload both new apk and play console logo. When I am installing the application in the phone then I see they updated only play store logo, not my new apk. How do I solve the problem?
Sometimes it takes more than 24 hrs to publish the app and become available for download from the google play store. Don't worry.
However, I would like to recommend you check if you have chosen the Full Rollout option while publishing your application. Sometimes, the app is updated and people forget to click on the Full rollout button.
Was questioning the same thing yesterday. I violated the privacy policy and needed to add a policy into the url needed. And clicked "Resubmitted", at the side you will see "processing request" or something like that? Yes, you have to wait to let Google Play Store review your app to make sure you have fixed what they pointed out the first time.
So don't worry, give it some time.
I'm using android studio. I have developed an app and now I want to upload it to Google Play. I have a license and I have uploaded an app before, but I didn't really know what I was doing at that time.
What I want is to upload my app to Google Play, and then upade it without losing the reviews and rating. How do I do that?
And, what is the best way to force a user to download an update? I am going to upload the app to Google Play and to Amazon Appstore (for android), so a link to Google Play or something similar is maybe not the best solution. I was thinking - a toast message "please update the app". What do you think?
Updating an existing apk on Google Play Store:
1) Go to your Google Play Developer Console
2) Select All applications in that select "Your Application"
3) Select Upload APK.
4) Choose from the Production, Beta, or Alpha channels and select Upload your APK.
It take few hours to publish update. more information about upload, publish, etc.
Forcing users to update: There are three things
1) It is not possible in Google Play Store, unless user have set automatic update on.
2) You can use external library like UpdateChecker, AppUpdater, etc.
3) You can change your application structure in that way that whenever user starts you application internal contents get update. (This is not a feasible option, I guess)
What is KeyStore?
It is used to build singed apk.
Keep your keystore in a secure location. If you lose your keystore, you'll need to publish the app with a new package name and a new key. If you need to do this, you should also unpublish the original app and update its description
Please check out this library, actually it provides what you want with simple approach.

When you publish a new version of your app to the Play Store, you will not lose any of the prior ratings for that app.
You can't force users to update your app. It is fully under their control. Some people may have automatic updates turned on, but for those who do not, they have to choose to receive the update.
Google added this new feature you can add to your app to force in-app update based on if you want the update immediate or flexible

Publish your draft
Click the Draft button, then click Publish to queue your app for publishing on Google Play. If you haven’t met the publishing requirements, click the Why can’t I publish? button to see a list of unmet requirements.

I put an app on Google Play Store, and now want to remove the app from the list of all applications, does anyone know how to remove?
Open App in your publisher account and click Button "Unpublish this app".
Under the developer console where you click to publish the app, if it is already published it becomes unpublished.
Click this and confirm you are sure then your app will no longer appear in the play store (may take a couple of hours for changes to propogate).
It will still however be shown in your developer console, you can't unfortunately remove it from there but people definitely won't be able to download from the store.
I've read over the google play documentation, but I didn't see where it really explained the app update process. Once you deactivate the old app and activate the new app, is it live for customers? I was under the impression that there was a publish option after activating, but no real way for me to know besides doing it. Any ideas?
After you activate your apk on your app and click publish in the right hand corner, your app is live to customers. Note that this is only for the first publication of your app on any subsequent updates your app is already published
To publish an update, you click on the APK files in the top right. Then below your existing apk details you will see a button to upload a new apk. Click on this and upload your new apk file. However your users will not be getting their updates just yet, your first have to click Activate on your new apk file, which will appear to the right of the description of your new apk.
After you have done this it the update will go to your users, but often it will take a couple of hours for the play store to process your update and send it to your users
See here - Android developer console app update
You upload your new apk, save it, activate it. That will tell you that the old one will be replaced. And publish it. It takes in average to one hour to become visible.
For more information refer to the Update your apps site.
