Answer 1

Steps of Upload multiple APKs to Google Console -

1. Go to your google console and Fill all the compulsory data with one APK out of your 7 different APKs and submit the app for production.
2. Now go to Create Release in App Release.
3. Upload another APK and Retain the previous APK and submit the changes to production.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 for the the APKs and don't forget to Retain the apk. If you don't do so then the apk will be lost.

To update the App with new versions of Apks, Deactivate all the apk and repeat the steps.

I would suggest now you can use Android app Build bundle. It will manage multiple devices which you are supports in your code. Reference link https://developer.android.com/platform/technology/app-bundle/

Still you want to upload multiple APK you must enable Advanced mode in your application's APK files tab. Once in advanced mode, you can upload, activate, then publish multiple APKs for the same application. Reference link https://developer.android.com/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks
