Apps Google Play Console deleted my .APK file

[mralbert]

I am unable to publish my Android app on Google Play because the APK file has apparently been deleted from my console. I uploaded all of the screenshots and other things required for publication. I uploaded the APK file first. I now have no way to upload a replacement APK file and cannot upload a later version either. When I click the "publish" button I get an error message saying that the app will be available to zero devices because the APK file is not present. Although I paid my $25.00 registration fee there is no customer service link that I can find to help me with this. I suppose I can change the name of the APK file and upload it as a new app but I can't think of a better name than the one I picked already.

I did try to upgrade my original APK file with a newer version before publishing my original APK file. I wasn't allowed to do this and this might have caused the deletion but I don't know.

Any help will be aprreciated.

In Manifest try add :

 <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />

<supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true"/>

all should be after finish <application>

Thank you for your advice.

I can't upload a different version of my .APK file, however, since the file was deleted somehow by the Google Play website and there are no buttons that allow me to upload a new file in any manner. The manifest file has nothing to do with this unless the Google Play website automatically deletes .APK files that don't meet some Google standard.

The .APK file is gone and the website won't allow me to upload a new .APK file. I can't transfer the name I chose for my app to another app.
