How do I publish an app on beta?

Just click your app in ALL APPLICATIONS, then click the APK side tab. You will then see tabs for Production, Beta Testing, and Alpha Testing. Make sure you click the Beta or Alpha tab, and the proceed to upload the new APK.

How do I release the beta app from Google Play?

Tap the overflow menu (more_vert) in the top right corner of the screen, and then select View in Google Play Store. Scroll down to the You're a beta tester section, and then tap the Leave button.

Apps that are published as Beta are not listed in the Play-Store!

If you want someone to test it, you need to invite them (via G+) and send them an Opt-In-Link.

If you want to promote your App, just publish it normally and mention that it´s still in Beta.

EDIT: You can still promote an App that is in Beta to "normal" (production I think), no need to reupload or anything.
