Multiple app versions in managed publishing - Google Play Console

Viewed 652

I am using Google play store Managed publishing feature. I have multiple app versions as below in the "Changes ready to publish" state in the Google Play console. I would like to only publish v6.6.1 as staged rollout, but I wonder if v6.6.0 will also be published when I publish the releases. I dont want v6.6.0 to be pubished, would prefer if it could be deleted but there was no way to remove an approved release.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Option 1:

I think this could be done by going to Google Play Console and select App bundle explorer from the left menu.

then chose the App version 6.6.0 click on Upload new version

you should upload a version that is identical to the version previous to 6.6.0 but with same 6.6.0's version code & same version name (6.6.0). Note: I've never tried this before, but I noticed it in the new Google Play Console.

Option 2:

  1. upload a new version that is identical to the version previous to 6.6.0 but with new version code (highest version code, higher than 6.6.1 version code) and version name 6.5.9 (for example)
  2. submit it as full roll-out
  3. upload a new version that is identical to the version previous to 6.6.1 but with new version code (highest version code, higher than 6.5.9 version code) and version name 6.6.1 with Staged roll-out = 1%
