cannot resolve the 500 error issue

[vafu]

trying to work make it work: here is my gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
//.......//
apply plugin: 'com.github.triplet.play'

android {

    playAccountConfigs {
        defaultAccountConfig {
            serviceAccountEmail = '<my-user>@developer.gserviceaccount.com'
            pk12File = file('Google Play Android Developer-<my-user>.p12')
        }
    }

    signingConfigs {
        Config {
            //working signing config
        }
    }
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    def versionPropsFile = file('version.properties')
    if (versionPropsFile.canRead()) {
        def Properties versionProps = new Properties()

        versionProps.load(new FileInputStream(versionPropsFile))

        def value = 0

        def runTasks = gradle.startParameter.taskNames
        if ( 'publishApkRelease' in runTasks) {
            value = 1;
        }

        def versionMajor = 1
        def versionMinor = 0
        def versionPatch = versionProps['VERSION_PATCH'].toInteger() + value
        def versionBuild = versionProps['VERSION_BUILD'].toInteger() + 1
        def versionNumber = versionProps['VERSION_NUMBER'].toInteger() + value

        versionProps['VERSION_PATCH'] = versionPatch.toString()
        versionProps['VERSION_BUILD'] = versionBuild.toString()
        versionProps['VERSION_NUMBER'] = versionNumber.toString()

        versionProps.store(versionPropsFile.newWriter(), null)

        defaultConfig {
            playAccountConfig = playAccountConfigs.defaultAccountConfig

            applicationId "com.cloudit.dashcraft"
            minSdkVersion 16
            targetSdkVersion 25
            versionName "${versionMajor}.${versionMinor}.${versionPatch} (${versionBuild})"

            dexOptions {

            }

            setProperty("archivesBaseName", "$versionName")
        }

    } else {
        throw new GradleException("Could not read version.properties!")
    }



    buildTypes {

            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            signingConfig signingConfigs.Config

    }
}

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    mavenCentral()
}

   //project dependencies

when running publishApkRelease:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:publishApkRelease'.
> com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 500 Internal Server Error
  {
    "code" : 500,
    "message" : null
  }

what's going on?

[papauschek]

same here 👍

[butelo]

I have that error too

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:publishApkRelease'.
> com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 500 Internal Server Error
  {
    "code" : 500,
    "message" : null
  }

This happened with the alpha version, beta worked just fine btw

same here for one of the application which is present on GPlay, but for internal adhoc builds and different app ids it works fine

[papauschek]

Just came across something that fixed the issue for me.

In the new Play Store Release Management it is possible to create draft releases. If one exists in the alpha release track, the publish API fails with the above status 500.

If you go to your releases in play store and see something like

You have a release in alpha that hasn't been rolled out

go into that release and discard it. Then the publish API can create a new one that works.

Hope this helps someone.

@papauschek Thank you! Worked like a charm!

[SanCHEESE]

So the fix should include just custom message explaining what's wrong, imo

[wheelerruss]

If it helps, I had a diff issue in my Play Store (I hadn't setup a price template).

I had a warning in the app releases section that I was missing something, after I created a template, the app releases was back to normal, and when I ran publishApkRelease, all good.

[SUPERCILEX]

Unfortunately, 500 is a really general error and it can kinda mean anything (see #120), so there's not much more we can do. Going to close this issue since it's been a while, but feel free to reopen if something else comes up.

I'm seeing this error too:

https://www.googleapis.com/upload/androidpublisher/v3/applications/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingandroid/edits/055435675
51180603900/listings/ca/icon?uploadType=resumable

It didn't go away after clicking "Switch to the new image format" on GPlay console - still error 500.
I also tried to replace the transparent PNG by a PNG with solid background as described in https://developer.android.com/google-play/resources/icon-design-specifications , enforced by GPlay from 24/06/2019 + .
