I am trying to release a new version of my Android App. I can upload the APK file but after I click the "Review" Button I am getting below error.
Review summary Errors
Resolve these errors before starting the rollout of this release. You can't rollout this release because it doesn't allow any existing users to upgrade to the newly added APKs.
Please note that this app was developed using CORDOVA
The app version details are as below image. The only difference from the previous and this new version is the Target SDK is changed from 24 to 26
Can someone please give some idea to fix this issue. Thanks for your help

The Play Store may not work properly if Google Play Services isn't updated. Although a background app, it's essential for downloading and updating your apps and content. Clear the Google Play Store cache and data. Clearing an app's cache and data helps it start over and will sometimes clear an invisible bug.
Your app is released for review to Google Play Store. Now all you have to do is wait for Google Play's approval. It will take up to 7 days to get it approved. Once approved, it will be available publicly for download on Google Play Store.
How long does it take to publish an app on Google Play? Google says the review process could take up to 7 days or even longer. But usually, it takes up to 2 days. Please, keep in mind that it may take a few days to fill in all the necessary information in the Google Developer account before submitting the application.
you cannot delete rejected/suspended/live apps from developer console. Either you can update the app again by looking at the email that why it was rejected at first place or you can hide them by unchecking rejected apps from filter on console.
I contacted the Google support and they replied within 24 hours.
The issue is the android:versionCode in the AndroidManifest.xml is lower than my previous release. After I fixed the issue I was able to release my app without any issue.
I changed the android-versionCode to a higher value in <manifest tag in the config.xml file so AndroidManifest.xml has the higher value.
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Google Play Developer Support.
You're seeing that error message because your new APK has a lower version code than the previous APK. Newer APKs must always have a higher version code than the previous version, or the Play Store won't know that the new APK is an update. Please change your new APK's version code to be at least 206020.
Regards,
Google Play Developer Support

If your Old APK version is a higher number than your New APK version then you get this error.
It is not the version name that matters, that can actually be any string, it is only the version code which must always be higher than a previous version.
https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning
In pubspec.yaml it is the version line, and the number after the + sign is the one that must be higher than the Old Version Code shown in the Google Play Console screen as the "1 app bundle deactivated".
That would be 50 if this was your version line :
version: 1.0.0+50
I faced same issue, interestingly the versioncode(120001) of new release (12.0.0) was less than the versioncode(1104058) previous release (11.4.5)
I resolved this issue following this link Setting Android version code in Ionic 2
