I want to remove uploaded APK which was mistakenly uploaded for direct release (Unpublished still) and instead I want to use the same APK without version code change for Beta testing first and rollout the APK only after beta testing.
There is a button called discard at the bottom of release page, if I discard this APK, can I upload the same APK without VersionCode change for beta testing and proceed to actual release? please suggest.
You need not only to discard the release, but also delete the artifact from the Bundle Explorer. Then you should be able to re-upload the same APK in a different track.
