Google Play Console - How remove an update of published application

i'm desperate. I published the wrong update for an app on the play store by the new Play Developer Console.

No i need to rollback my update, simply REMOVING it and re-publish the previous.

I cannot understand 2 things:

  • how remove it from the apps versions menu
  • re-publish the previous one

Please help me! Thanks in advance

How do I undo an update on Google Play?

From the Home screen, select “Settings” > “Apps“. Choose the app you wish to downgrade. Select “Uninstall” or “Uninstall updates“.

How do I delete a pending publication on Google Play?

There currently isn't a way to cancel a pending production release in the Google Play Console. Perhaps this constraint is preventing you from publishing any new releases to your internal, closed, and open testing tracks because your app isn't quite ready to be available on the store yet.

In previous versions of Google Developer Console this could be possible unpublising the last .apk and enable to production your desired version

but now it can´t be possible.

Note that rollbacks aren’t supported due to the app versioning requirements of the Android platform. If you need to rollback, consider launching a previous APK with a new version number. However, this practice should be used only as a last resort, as users will lose access to new features and your old app may not be forward-compatible with your server changes or data formats, so be sure to run alpha and beta tests of your updates.

You can see the previous releases but you can´t enable again:

You need to create and publish a new release with a consecutive versionCode.
