I have a app on Google play store.
I want to put it update version on play store.For that i have just incremented app version code from AndroidManifest.xml.And upload that version on Google play store.
All is going fine and my app uploaded successfully on store.
What the updated version is not showing so far instead the old application is appearing.
So how much time it take to get upload perfectly so that users got the updated version.?
It takes 3-4 hrs to update an application in google playstore.wait for couple of hours,you will get it.All the best. :)
Normally its takes 3-4 hour for an app to get updated. But some times it may take more then that due to more traffic.

So I've made this little app, and shared it among friends. It's on google store.
I've updated newer version of an app today (replaced APK and those little chors I had to do with it). Will my friends recieve my newer version? They still havent.
Did I skip any step? Do I need to somehow initiate the update beside updating apk?
If your friends have the old version of the app installed form the Google Play store, they will get the update of your app after you publish the update of your app properly in the play store.
It generally requires around an hour for the app to get published after you upload the apk to the play store.
You don't need to do anything, other then just to increase the version number and code and signing the app with same key store. Google play services will manage everything after that.
Some people turn on option update apps only on wifi.
It may take some time to publish new version on google play.
So,if you did as above, i would suggest you to wait and watch. or visit the play store and check the current version.
I have pushed a new version of my app.
On google developer console it is published and all old versions are unpublished but on Google Play Store it is still showing old version.
I already clear play store cached and data but still showing old app version don't know why.
I have checked, on all device showing old version.
Here is snapshot for google developer console
App is live after 13 days, I have contact to google support center and also they have answer for this delay. But It is now clear that it may take any time to be live on play store. I was worried because this was happen first time during my 4 years career.
You have just to wait a little bit. It may take some days until you see the newest version in google play store.
Once you push it live from the publishing interface, it will take a max 2/3 hours to be live to consumers. Unlike iTunes, Google review does not involve any human testing so it is much quicker.
When i deployed a newer version of my android app on google play store (e.g. v1.17), but Google Play Store App in my device still display old version (v1.16) cause that i cannot update it from my device.
But i can login the Play Store from PC, and see the latest version. Then i can update the app to latest version through PC Google Play Store.
How can let play store always show the latest app version in the device?
(even if i try to clear data / clear cache for google play service, it still displays old version.)
Thanks.
just wait a couple of hours. It is highly automated, the whole process. personally it takes 3-4 hours to see my app on google play store on my device
I found a way that always fill-in the what's news change log when upload newer app version, it seem be easy to let play store show the latest app version faster in the device.
I've developed an application and release it on google market with version 3.0. Later i've done some modification in it and upload new version(3.1) on market. To do this i've first deactivate old version and then upload this new version. Now, when i try to update app in my device (which is having 3.0 version app), i open app page in play store and shocked, because play store page display "OPEN" button inplace of "UPDATE".
Please suggest me the reason for this.
Thanks in advance.
How much time has it been when you uploaded the version 3.1 app?
Because it takes some time for google servers to upload the new version to the play store. Pay attention to the instructions, they are not as same as terms and conditions.
Update your apps documentation:
App updates take some time to be delivered to existing users. If you’ve submitted an update that hasn’t showed up on Google Play, please wait at least 24 hours before contacting our support team.
That also works for updates of course.
Nothing is instant at such a large scale you know...
I activated a new version of my application on Google Play approximately 3 hours ago. The information about it already been updated (description, screenshots) but the apk not yet, continue the old version. It is normal to happen?
Make sure after you uploaded the APK, you 'activate' it. Just by uploading it, changing description and save it won't update the APK itself, you are just updating the description.
What I normally do is after uploading a new APK, I update the What's New section, go back to activate the APK and then finally hit 'Save' button.
Before Google Play, the APK update is almost instantaneous. But lately, new APK updates takes at least 1 to 4 hours to get updated on Google Play website.
UPDATE: nevermind, saw you 'activated' a new version in the question.
It will take more time to update the apk, generally I have seen anytime between 1-12 hrs, depending on the time of day you update the apk. Apk is updated once or twice a day. If you are lucky to update your apk just before the internal process updates then your will see it updated very soon.
Text and Picture on the other hand are just html that is rendered, so it is updated right away.
I try to update late night before or around 12 midnight, then by next morning 9am (london time), it is updated in google play / market.
Sometimes I have updated at 8am london time and it is reflected updated by around 10am!
HTH
I had a similar issue where my tester was able to see the production version of my app in Play Store but not the new Beta version update even though it was uploaded many hours before and available to other Beta testers as an update.
I had added him as a Beta tester to my Google Group, also added as a test user in my Google Play Store account. The solution was to force stop Play Store then restart it again.
The Beta Update was available as soon as he went back into the play store and searched for the app.
