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.
