This was an application-level debug flag that I use for things like controlling whether the app should update my Flurry statistics. I accidentally uploaded the debug version that did not invoke the Flurry API. I needed to reset the flag and reupload the app. >> This got me thinking whether there was a better way to handle >> this.

Yes to version control. Been a developer for many, many years and would never work without it. In this instance I was able to quickly fix my problem and upload a new version. I changed the version code but kept the same version name. >> Is there a way to remove the latest APK and restore the APK that >> was prior to it? >> T> The developer console has this nifty notion of "active APK" and T> buttons that read "set as active" (at least the old console T> did).

You don't want to do that. Amazing. You would think that you could tell Google to ignore the latest APK and reactivate the one before it. Since you cannot, the only option is what you suggested - revert from version control and upload yet another APK.
