Download an APK which is uploaded in Alpha version play store - android

My app is already published.Now I wish to update it with newer version,But I did some serious changes so I wish to check it first in alpha version.
I uploaded my apk with next version in alpha,It is completely 24 hours,But still now It is not showing in playstore,In playstore my old app version is present.
I have logged in with tester-id which I have added to google-group(tester).
I am not trying to download old apk,
But trying to download the apk which I have uploaded in alpha testing.
the app which is in production have version 6.
and I uploaded version 7 in alpha testing.when I am opening the tester link with tester id,I expect it should show me my app with latest version(ie. version 7).
But still it showing version 6.
Can any one tell me how do I download it,As I am not able to find it?

I found solution, you cant find your app using search box, you can use generated direct link only.

Why does release android apk are rolls back to play store version after certain time

Noticed this very strange behavior with my android application
Installed app from play store with version name 3.1 App is working
fine.
Due to new correction,I've installed App via USB connection or by
sharing apk files with same version name.
App is working fine with newly added features but
After certain time/days i found that the newly added feature is
gone and I'm using the play store version...
Additional info:
The same issue occurred in android version 11,12,9 followed by the above process.
However, I have no idea why would it is happening and how to prevent this behavior.
visited this below link for the similar issue and found nothing related to my issue.
Why does Android app rolls back to a previous version after device shutdown?
My guessing is your play store has a function that called update automatically which is opend,your apk on Phone is version behind the play store version
Found the solution for this Silly Issue.
from last one month i observed that my release apk which is not in production but has the same version name was auto updated to production version i it is for all the apk user.
I tried to disable the of google play store setting of auto update and after few day is not replaced by the production version.

Beta users prompted to download Public release App of Same Version

I have gone through two situations and finding hard to understand the issue/working behaviour. Wish some one could help please!!
I am part of Android Beta testing program and installed the Beta build onto my device, say version 2. I was prompted to download App from Play Store which has version 1 (Version 2 is in Beta closed testing). I am quite confused with the process, higher version being prompted to download lower version. Should this be the expected behaviour and how does the flow work really?
One of my colleague was part of Android Beta testing program and had the Beta build (Version 2) installed onto his device. Later App was released to Play Store (No build exist in Beta Closed testing). Build in App Store and Beta build in Device are Version 2, but the user is Prompted to download the App on Every launch. User has deleted Beta build and downloaded App from Play Store, but still the prompt appears to download. Why is this behaviour experienced and how to avoid this issue please?
Got the issue sorted, it was to do with App itself, We have Force upgrade service in our App and was mistakenly enabled for latest version which prompted users to download on every launch.

Android Play Store installs previous version of app in Alpha

I have an Android app in alpha testing; I have uploaded updated APKs a few times. My testers report that they still get the previous version, not the latest one, even though the Developer Console says the latest version is the right one - the latest I uploaded a few days ago - and doesn't say "Processing update" any more.
Is there anything I should advise my testers to do on their devices, and can I do something at my end?
I couldn't install the latest public version of an app either, even after the alpha testing program for that app was ended. Then I manually left the testing program by going to the link where had I registered as a tester in the beginning.
In my app's case, the link was
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/np.com.naya.pasal
Mind to put your app id instead of np.com.naya.pasal in the above link
Your testers will get message like this when they have left the test. After a while they can install the latest version.
If you want to install old version of the app, then
Uninstall the app if you have already installed.
Then go to Google Play console > App bundle explorer. From there select app version and there you can see Shareable link to the app in Downloads tab. From that link you can install that specific app version.

Cannot publish updated APK: "Version 20 is not served to any device configuration"

I'm trying to publish a new version of my application in Google Play. When I upload new APK file (app version 22) I can't see the option to publish it in production. I can save it only as a draft. There's a red message (see the screenshot below) saying:
Version 20 is not served to any device configuration: all devices that
might receive version 20 would receive version 22
Situation doesn't get any better when I deactivate APK 20 (2.0).
What am I doing wrong? I can't figure it out.
The problem was very silly. I just didn't save my changes in the dashboard using the Publish now button. So in the end I just didn't deactivate the old version which prevented me from publishing the updated one.
Just publish your changes and you're good to go.

error while uploading .apk on google play

I have developed an app which is already in market, now I am trying to upload new version of that app but every time an error is occurring, can anybody tell me solution I am attaching my screenshot of google play.Below are images
In Google play they maintain the Hierarchy of version code.
In your case you published version 5 apk already if you want to upgrade just change the new apk version to 6 and upload it to Google play.You can't directly jump from 5 to 8 version.
Thanks...
