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.

Having a bit of a nightmare with good ole Google Play. We pushed a new release last night and the status showed as being successful and published. Now today (10+ hrs later) its clearly NOT been released in Google Play store.
To top it off, Google's Play Console app on Android (we use to check on the apps release status etc) is saying "Update Pending" AND, it resets the submitted time to the Play Store every couple of hours!!
We've lodged a "support" request to Google. But I'm hoping someone here has had same issue and there's a workaround to get this thing back on track and into the store so we don't have to wait 2 days for Google to maybe get back to us.
hmmmm ok. so now its live. for anyone with same issue maybe this will help. i created a fresh APK (increment build#) in our CI. then I manually uploaded this new build via the Google Play Console. Same descriptions, same everything as before. A few hours later (~ 4hrs) it decided to play nice and actually DID publish to production on Google Play. Horrible deploy experience Google, you'd think after so many years this flow would be robust and reliable. Apple wins on this one atm.
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.
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.
I'm trying to update an app in the google play store.
The google developer FAQ says it can take up to 24 hours after publishing before it's visable.
I updated an apk and the store description 26+ hours ago, then again about 22 hours ago and another new version around 6 hours ago. But when I visit the store I still see an old version from 3 days ago and the old description.
When I release new versions in such a short period, does it mean the checking/review will be reset and only the last one will be published, or will every version be available in the submitted order when they are ready?
Update:
It's now "on the line". It seems when you push updates very fast they will not be shown, because the review process will always start from the beginning. So you should consider to wait after every update until it's shown. Or Google just had some problems these days.
It looks google might have introduced new internal system of updating new version. My app was published 2 days ago but still not showing the latest version in play store, though I got email that my update is live within 1 hour.
Check again your Google Play Developer Console.
Be sure your app is supported in your device where you are expecting to see your app, and STATUS is in Prod.
Older .apk´s must be Unpublised
I had this situation my app had an error and my status was "Unpublished"
I just published a new release of an android app on google play yet it seems to take ages for it to appear for the users of the google play store. In the developer console it is immediately updated so I assume all is okay with the apk. Taking ages means for me right now over one hour. Is this normal and if so, is there a way to speed up the process?
Yes, it's normal, and no, you can't speed it up. It's just the time it takes to propagate the new information across all of Google's servers.
This is for updating.
I just released a new APK as the initial Beta release(V1.0) and it took almost 6 days to publish in the Play Store for Open Testing. (01.09.2020 to 06.09.2020).
After that, I released V1.1 and it was published within 28 minutes. (06.09.2020)
