Solution 1:
- For some reason when you upload a new APK without immediately clicking "publish" (you probably clicked save draft the first time), Google thinks you want to publish BOTH apk at the same time.
- This is usually needed when you have multiple APK for different configuration (say: a version for android 2.x and another for 3+ or a version for tablet and another for handset etc...)
- However in your case you are just uploading an upgrade and you want it to replace your previous APK.
To solve:
- Click on the Switch to Advanced Mode on the top right
- Click on Action -> Move on the OLD APK and choose "Deactivate"
- The error should go away and you should see your OLD apk in " OTHER APKS " and the new one ready to be published.
- Just click Publish to make your change effective and wait for them to propagate.
Solution 2:
- You can only have one APK in production at a time. Before uploading you must deactivate the current one.
- The same goes for alpha and beta test APKs combined - you can only have one APK published for testing.
