I'm trying to upload a new version of an android app on Google play console, but as soon as I select the app it gives me: "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later."

No other information is provided, and it worked 3 days ago. Is there anything that could be wrong on my end or did google just break their interface somehow?

(I'm using google chrome on unbuntu 18)

    We are experiencing the same issue starting this morning. They probably have some server problems. – roelvogel Jul 01 '20 at 07:38

You can use new version of the console (https://play.google.com/console) to upload new version of your app.

    The old console seems to be having issues today, but the new one allows for browsing and submitting apps, as far I know. – BoKKeR Jul 01 '20 at 08:45
  • Experiencing this even when trying to promote a release from Beta to Production on the new Console. Anyone has a different experience? – cauende Jul 01 '20 at 09:21
  • After days of not been able to upload APK to the play store. The new https://play.google.com/console works well for APK upload. The old console appears to be buggy – Seunope Jul 25 '20 at 21:41
  • Its happening again with the "new" play console but I'm getting a 403 in the JS console along with multiple warnings that some `dart.js` file couldn't be found. Signing out and back in, trying on a different internet connection and a different browser did not work. – Daniel Aug 05 '21 at 06:43

With some URL hackery you should be able to upload and publish a new version of the app even with the error.

  1. Open the Google Play Console
  2. Right-click an app and choose "Open in new tab"
  3. Replace AppDashboardPlace in the URL to a working page like MarketListingPlace

I can see the following pages work currently:

  • Android vitals > Deobfuscation files
  • Development tools > *
  • Release management > App releases (incl. tracks and releases)
  • Release management > Android Instant Apps
  • Release management > Artifact library
  • Release management > Device catalog
  • Release management > App signing
  • Store presence > *
  • User acquisition > *
  • User feedback > *

It was fine for me 6 hours ago, I now encounter the same problem from Sweden. A few people have reported this problem online for the last 2 weeks.

Private browsing mode in Chrome, Firefox and Safari didn't solve it, no JS console errors or network errors. Circumventing the AJAX request returned a blank page with the same "An unexpected error occurred". I can't see how this could be a client issue.
