Due to a migration in the back I would like to temporary stop my app from being downloaded.
In the past I could manage that in Play Store Console. But now I can't find any switch for that.
How to disable the app temporary in Play Store ?
In Playstore developer console You can go to pricing and distribution section in the left hand side panel
You should find Availability section listing lot of countries where your app would be available for download from playstore
You can make all countries as unavailable or few selected countries
for keeping you app hidden from playstore and there by stopping downloads from playstore for sometime , you can always make your app available by selecting available in countries once done available , your app would be back in playstore within few minutes and will be ready for download.
