I want to update the APK file on Google play store.
After uploading new APK file, i clicked Activate, It asked whether to replace the previous APK file, i clicked ok. Then i get this:
But when i refresh the page i again get the 1st Image. Moreover if i search for my Application, and click on it, It shows Version as 1.0, not 1.0.1.
Is it because, Google takes time to process this? If thats the case, it atleast shouldn't show the 2 APK files, which looks like i didn't Activate it.
Thank You
It takes some time to actually get to play market. Couple hours maybe.
You can see your old APK in advanced mode.
After Activate new uploaded apk save the changes you have done. may this help you

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
Few weeks back I uploaded first version of my app to google play. Everything, including updates, worked great until now.
When I install apk directly to my phone everything works as expected I have 0 High score, google achievements works and ad is showing.
But when I dowload the SAME apk from google play(after I published it) the game shows highscore of 60 and neither achievements or ad are showing. (I am using Unity and its playerPrefs system of saving data).
I went and investigate the situation and I found out something weird to me.
In the artefact library I downloaded my apk and there are 2 types.
1) The one that I uploaded
2)One tha google somehow edited
Somehow the 2. apk diferes A LOT from what I uploaded.. Namely the uploaded state of highscore(even some other saved stuf)
It is possible that I forget to clear playerPrefs in earlier version, but NOT in this one.
How is it posible that google somehow merges my new apk with older one?
And when I am uploading new apk I dont keep the old ones, I am deactivating them so where is the problem.. It is my first published app and I dont know some of the "advanced wording".So please if you know what is happening go slow on me ;)
(Sure I missed something :/ )
Thanks for all help.
Google doesn't modify APKs uploaded to the Play Console. The fact that you observe a different behaviour of your app related to gaming suggests that maybe your integration with the game library has some issues.
Overall, given that we don't know the setup of your console and your releases, you would have more luck reaching out to the Play Console support team.
My app is on Google Play for a week. Original apk size was about 40MB. Few days later I updated the app and now it's 46MB. And here problem begins: users, to update the app, need to download 46MB, not something around 6MB.
I think it isn't okay, as other apps in PlayStore only download needed data and not whole new apk. So: am I doing something wrong or should I turn on something in Play Dev Console?
Play Store tries to download deltas of your changes when updating an app, not the whole APK. See this article for some of these optimization, including some tips.
Sorry, I was a noob on this field. I use an eclipse to make an android app, and I need an answer about how to update the version of my app. Also, does the update replace everything in the project?
You go to the Google Play Developer Console just like the first time, and upload a new .apk.
This means you're completely replacing the app, but not anything else you've set up in the console, such as preview images and description text.
All you have to do is publish your newly built APK in your Android Developer Console. The old APK is replaced with the new one. Remember to update the android:versionCode element in your manifest. You have to increment it by +1. This way when your users open the Play Store app on their devices, they will receive a notification that the application needs to be updated.
Go to Developer console page and upload the new .apk file.
Make sure in the new apk, android:versionCode (in Manifest file) is bumped. Otherwise you will get an error.
In the Developer console page both versions will be available. You can choose which app version you want in the field.
So google has changed their publishing interface so that Recent changes no longer goes under Store Listing but under a specific apk. The problem is, I don't see where to add those comments in the apk that is actually in production. For the unpublished APKs I can just go in "Show details". Does anyone know how to add those comments for the APK that is actually serving in production?
Go to https://play.google.com/apps/publish
Click on your application
Click on APK in the left menu
Click on the version you have in production
Scroll down to What's new in this version?
Click on the seemingly-uneditable text. It should become editable.
