Fully shadow apk issue on newly released app

i am having issue with multiple split abi upload to google play and i already tried the solutions to previous questions but they did little to no good to me.

below is my build.gradle config:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android
// compileSdkVersion 24
// buildToolsVersion '24.0.3'
signingConfigs
config
keyAlias 'unikey'
keyPassword '*****'
storeFile file('E:/Projects/CompanyDroid/AppSigner/mykey.jks')
storePassword '*****'


compileSdkVersion 27
//buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'
defaultConfig
applicationId "com.aethtech.myapp"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 27
versionCode 3
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
signingConfig signingConfigs.config

splits
abi

// Enables building multiple APKs per ABI.
enable true

// By default all ABIs are included, so use reset() and include to specify that we only
// want APKs for x86, armeabi-v7a, and mips.

reset()
include 'x86', 'x86_64', 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a'

// Specifies that we do not want to also generate a universal APK that includes all ABIs.
universalApk true


project.ext.versionCodes = ['armeabi': 1, 'armeabi-v7a': 2, 'arm64-v8a': 3, 'mips': 5, 'mips64': 6, 'x86': 8, 'x86_64': 9]

android.applicationVariants.all variant ->
variant.outputs.each output ->
output.versionCodeOverride =
project.ext.versionCodes.get(output.getFilter(
com.android.build.OutputFile.ABI), 0) * 10000000 + android.defaultConfig.versionCode


buildTypes
release
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
renderscriptDebuggable false
zipAlignEnabled true
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
signingConfig signingConfigs.config
versionNameSuffix '1.0'


productFlavors



dependencies
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2',
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
)
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'
compile 'com.github.paolorotolo:appintro:4.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'



the error in google play store looks as below:

another one:

is there something wrong with the version code or abi split, i am new to android studio so i am unable to find any clues to why this is happening.

Change your targetSdkVersion to 26 , Latest targetSdkVersion is 26 and your targetSdkVersion is 27 higher than latest one.

targetSdkVersion

26

targetSdkVersion

26

targetSdkVersion

27

Reference : https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-migration.html

One thing remember every time once you upload release apk on play store always increase the versionCode higher than previous one.

android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
defaultConfig
applicationId "com.aethtech.myapp"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 3
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"



or check this,
Are you using multiple apk in the play store? Or even if you are using one apk but use the splits gradle function, that is considered "multiple" apk to the play store. I think that error can be avoided using a version code scheme like the one described here.https://developer.android.com/google/play/publishing/multiple-apks.html#VersionCodes

Your gradle file says:

// Specifies that we do not want to also generate a universal APK
// that includes all ABIs.


But then it has

universalApk true


Is it possible you are uploading a universal APK, and this universal APK is shadowing all your other APKs?

Also from your gradle file I'd expect to see 4 APKs uploaded (one for each native ABI) but you are uploading 2. This looks wrong as well.

You need to Put your Gradle in this Format. (Be Specific ABI Version
Code Order)

splits

// Configures multiple APKs based on ABI.
abi
// Enables building multiple APKs per ABI.
enable true
// By default all ABIs are included, so use reset() and include to specify that we only
// want APKs for x86 and x86_64.
// Resets the list of ABIs that Gradle should create APKs for to none.
reset()
// Specifies a list of ABIs that Gradle should create APKs for.
include "x86", "x86_64", "armeabi", "arm64-v8a", "armeabi-v7a", "mips"

// Specifies that we do not want to also generate a universal APK that includes all ABIs.
universalApk true


ext.abiCodes = ['x86': 3, 'x86_64': 4, 'armeabi-v7a': 5, 'arm64-v8a': 6, armeabi: 1, mips: 2]
