I have published two versions of my app apks to Google Play Console.(1.3, 1.4)
But later I realised that there is a minor issue in my newest version(1.4) that I have uploaded. So now I need to un-publish the newest version(1.4) and publish the older version(1.3) again.
How can I do that?

It's not possible. You'll have to rebuild the older state and upload again under a new version number.

I am using Google play store Managed publishing feature. I have multiple app versions as below in the "Changes ready to publish" state in the Google Play console. I would like to only publish v6.6.1 as staged rollout, but I wonder if v6.6.0 will also be published when I publish the releases. I dont want v6.6.0 to be pubished, would prefer if it could be deleted but there was no way to remove an approved release.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
Option 1:
I think this could be done by going to Google Play Console and select App bundle explorer from the left menu.
then chose the App version 6.6.0 click on Upload new version
you should upload a version that is identical to the version previous to 6.6.0 but with same 6.6.0's version code & same version name (6.6.0).
Note: I've never tried this before, but I noticed it in the new Google Play Console.
Option 2:
upload a new version that is identical to the version previous to 6.6.0 but with new version code (highest version code, higher than 6.6.1 version code) and version name 6.5.9 (for example)
submit it as full roll-out
upload a new version that is identical to the version previous to 6.6.1 but with new version code (highest version code, higher than 6.5.9 version code) and version name 6.6.1 with Staged roll-out = 1%
For my app i need FFmpeg, so i went to official website, for windows builds it said go here :-
https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/tag/autobuild-2021-01-20-13-01
But now i have a problem.
Which version of ffmpeg is newer ?
ffmpeg-N-100679 or ffmpeg-n4.3.1-29 ?
Is that "N" version unstable and "n4" version stable ?
Any help would be appreciated 🙂
Which is newer?
ffmpeg-N-100679-g24dc6d386c is newer. It is from the git master branch, and is a snapshot of the current, up-to-date FFmpeg code for the date it was released. It corresponds to commit 24dc6d386c (note I omitted the g prefix) which is from 2021-01-20.
4.3.1 is from 2020-07-11. Since new features are not backported to release versions (only certain bug fixes) it is just an extension of 4.3 which was released on 2020-06-08. The FFmpeg Download page contains the dates for releases.
So ffmpeg-N-100679-g24dc6d386c is about 7 months newer than 4.3.1.
Which do I use?
ffmpeg-N-* for general users. If you want the latest code and features. Required for anyone who wants to submit a bug report. If you experience a problem with the newest release. It is stable ~98% of the time I'd guess from using it over many years.
Release version: if you are required to stay within a certain API version. For distros, distributors, users of the FFmpeg libraries, etc.
Versions with N-xxxxx are nightly builds / snapshots and are unstable (but newer). Use them only for testing or if the last release has a bug that is already fixed and only available in the nightly.
Otherwise I recommend to use the latest release (currently 4.3.1). This is typically more stable.
Alpha test download link downloads differents versions of the application to testers. The version number of the downloaded application is the lastest one but it is missing some functionalities that are in the latest version that I published.
So we tried again to download the latest version of the application through the Internal Testing and Internal app sharing of Google play but we are encountering the same issue.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? Can you assist?
Thank you.
I have uploaded an APK to the Google Play store. However, after making it live, I have found an issue in the APK. My current APK version is 1.5 and I want to cancel this APK and reinstate the previous version (1.4) in the store. Is this possible?
Thanks for all your help.
There is no rollback feature.
The only way is to take your good APK (1.4), increase its versionCode (e.g. to 1.6), then re-sign it and re-publish it in a new release.
Well we released an update for our app last month, that set the minSDK to 5.0. We did this because we had a server side change that would break those on below 5.0.
Is there anyway to release another app on Google Play that would only be for user on below 5.0?
If we were to release the 5.0 and below version for a few days and then release the 5.0 and above. Will the 5.0 and below user still see that "slightly newer" below 5.0 release?
Yes. This is known as "multi-APK". See this help page.
You have two options for making sure users get the right APK.
the simplest to understand option is to set maxSdkVersion in the manifest of your pre-5.0 APK, and minSdkVersion in your manifest for the post 5.0 APK.
another option to use version code. Google Play will always deliver the highest version code that is compatible with a user. So if you make sure your pre-5.0 APK always has a lower version code than your post-5.0 APK, then both types of users will get the correct APK.
