In Google Play, it says "You need to upload an APK or Android App Bundle for this application"

Question

I'm on the review summary after my apk was uploaded. It says,

Errors
Resolve these errors before starting the roll-out of this release.

You need to upload an APK or Android App Bundle for this application.
You cannot remove all production APKs and Android App Bundles.

I've looked at various sources and am not sure what the solution is.

Solution

As you can see from the first screenshot you are deactivating your first APK (version code 1). But you haven't uploaded a new version of your APK. You can't do a release without any APKs live. You have two choices:

• reactivate your old APK (Press the "Retain" (Now it is renamed to Include) button by the version 1 APK)
• upload a new APK

I assume you know what you want to do.
