Visual studio distribute Xamarin Android APP. Error This API has been deprecated and is no longer available. [410]

Question

I use visual studio 2019 to publish an Android app made with Xamarin.

To distribute the app I have always used the visual studio "Archive Manager".

I create the APK with the classic "Archive ..." command, then select the generated APK and click "Distribute ...", select Google play, the signature, the account, the "Alpha" channel and error:

This API has been deprecated and is no longer available. [410]

What should I do to resolve?

I can publish manually, but this automatic system is very convenient.

thanks a lot.

P.S.

I already read this post https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/6528 and the problem is VS2019. Last version don't work. why?

similar situation here What is "We’ve detected that your app is using an old version of the Google Play developer API" warning in Google Developer Console? I have already tried to reconnect the project to a new API project but nothing

Any Idea?

All start when Google Play Store show this message:

We’ve detected that your app is using an old version of the Google Play Developer API. From December 1 2019, versions 1 and 2 of this API will no longer be available. Update to version 3 before this date. Learn more: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/03/changes-to-google-play-developer-api.html

Have you updated to the new API?Then you can try to delete bin and obj folders, then restart VS and try again. — Jessie Zhang -MSFT, Dec 05 '19 at 02:26
thanks for your answer. The problem is how do i upgrade the VS2019 API? — Ricko.., Dec 05 '19 at 07:56
All component of my app are updated, and the APK manually distribute in the Google Play store work fine. I think that is a problem of VS2019 — Ricko.., Dec 05 '19 at 07:59

A fix has been published in the 16.4.2 version of the Visual Studio. Update your editor, and you will be able to publish like before.

right now, the only solution I've found, is to publish manually.

Archive Manager > click on the desired apk > Distribute.. > Ad Hoc > Sign and save to local drive.

Go Google play store > creare new release > add APK file
