Android app versionCode too large

Question

I have accidentally published an APK that has a very large version code. i.e. the MAX of an integers value.

Now I cannot publish any more versions of my app because there is no larger integer for my version.

How can I resolve this problem? Is my only option to republish this as a completely new separate app?

Answer 1

I would suggest going into the Play Store Console and go to following places:

APK Tab --> Switch to Advanced Mode --> Other APKs --> then choose the one you want and press "Move to Production".
