How remove an update of published application in Google Play Console


I published the wrong update for an app on the play store by the new Play Developer Console.

I need to rollback my update, simply REMOVING it and re-publishing the previous version.

I cannot understand 2 things:

  • how remove it from the apps versions menu
  • re-publish the previous one

Solution

  • In previous versions of Google Developer Console this could be possible unpublising the last .apk and enable to production your desired version

    but now it can´t be possible.

    Note that rollbacks aren’t supported due to the app versioning requirements of the Android platform. If you need to rollback, consider launching a previous APK with a new version number. However, this practice should be used only as a last resort, as users will lose access to new features and your old app may not be forward-compatible with your server changes or data formats, so be sure to run alpha and beta tests of your updates.

    You can see the previous releases but you can´t enable again:

    You need to create and publish a new release with a consecutive versionCode.
