I have attempted to upload an app via the Google Play Developer Console for the last two days, but the apk uploads until "99% complete" in firefox or until "processing" in chrome and the is stuck.
This is not my first app. I have uploaded and published two others without incident.
I have attempted the upload with following with all the same result:
*Firefox 28.0 (Ubuntu 13.10)
*Firefox 28.0 Incognito (Ubuntu 13.10)
*Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 (Ubuntu 13.10)
*Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 (Ubuntu 13.10) Incognito
*Chrome mobile 33.0.1750.166 on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.1 phone
*Chrome (Windows 8)
Logs start out fine:
POST https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 537ms] POST https://clients2.google.com/uploadstats [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1402ms] POST https://clients2.google.com/uploadstats [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1457ms] POST https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload
then it hits 99% complete and these errors start posting:
POST https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 3816ms] POST https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 739ms] POST https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 668ms] POST https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload
I also tried advancing the version in the AndroidManifest.xml.
As a test I added the apk in question to the Amazon Appstore. No difficulties. The apk uploaded seamlessly. Google Play Store issue?
Also tried adding a new application in the developer console and then uploading the apk.
Also tried starting from scratch and rebuilding the app in Eclipse and then attempted to upload the new apk. No luck
I have been emailing with Google Help. 8 days ago they asked for the apk in question and HAR file generated when the upload gets stuck. I sent both. They replied they were looking into the issue. A few days later this question came alive with others experiencing the same issues! I emailed again that I was still encountering issues.
Then on March 19th they responded and asked for:
- A screenshot of the error message.
- The APK you're attempting to upload
- The browser versions you were able to test with and OS type that you are using.
- Information from the browser's error console or http logs.
- What steps did you take to reproduce this issue?
Any other suggestions?
