In the Beta channel we were troubleshooting an apk issue. Current beta versions were being built in Android Studio, but to test we compiled and published an older version from Eclipse (with new version number). This was build 42 (1.4.0).
After, we moved back to Android Studio. However, now any build we publish past 42 (1.4.0) gives the following error. This configuration cannot be published for the following reason(s): It is forbidden to downgrade devices which previously used M permissions (target SDK 23 and above) to APKs which use old style permissions (target SDK 22 and below). This occurs in the change from version 42 (target SDK 23) to version 28 (target SDK 21). We now have two apk stuck at once in beta (see attached pic) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EHbvuNK-pR4/VuiXvbe4kAI/AAAAAAAAAMc/JSAI_OUbigk9euWlvSJWcDpA6rTADXtVg/s1600/APK_-_I-Doser_Premium_-_Google_Play_Developer_Console_-_2016-03-15_19.15.37.jpg> We cant deactivate build 42 or we get forbidden to downgrade devices which previously used M permissions error. We cant deactivate 46 or we get It is forbidden to downgrade devices which previously matched *version 46* to *version 42* error SDK IS configured at 23 since beginning. So now we are stuck with two builds published to beta and cant dedicate either. We can upload another but no matter what we do build 42 will not be replaced or deactivated or we get previously used M permissions error. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
