Intune APK Upload Error

Good morning.

 

Since Monday 8th June I have been unable to upload a private APK within our Intune Managed PlayStore portal. When uploading the APK file it errors, "Can't publish app. Try again in a few minutes."

The error message is very generic and suggests its just a system global error but it's been on going for a few days now. I have also tried uploading a previously successful APK file with the same error returned and several different browsers.

 

Is anyone else having this issue or has any idea on how to fix or contact for support?

    Hi, This issue usually happens due to a temporary glitch in the Intune Managed Play Store portal or a problem with the APK’s signing/settings. Since you’ve tried multiple APKs and browsers, it’s likely on Microsoft’s side. You can try: Clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window. Verifying that the APK is properly signed and targets supported API levels. Uploading via PowerShell or Intune Graph API as a workaround. Contacting Microsoft Support since the error has persisted for several days. Most often, the upload works once the portal issue is resolved or after checking the APK.

    ChrisNichols90 Oderbang  Prasad_Salvi Have you tried uploading it via the Google Play Console (Not within Intune)? You may get more detailed error information there. A quick way to get there would be to select the "Make Advanced Edits" link under the "Advanced Editing Options" section. I have found that directly logging into the Google Play console is much easier to work with and gives you a lot more functionality than using it through Intune.

      _PRyan unfortunately I do not have a google play developer account, hence why accessing via intune (as you do not need one using this method) 

      a dev account is required to access the play console as far as I'm aware.

       

      regards

        Oderbang You don't need to pay for one, when you add an app to the Private Google Play Store via Intune it creates a developer account for you.

      Thank you for your reply Rakibrahman 

       

      Yes, the APK appears to be in the correct state. I also am unable to upload previously successful APKs which does suggest there is a global issue. Do you often upload private APKs to the Managed Playstore Console via Intune? Have you had any issues recently?

        Hi,

        last time was a month ago. Only issues were versioning. Every time you upload a new version of a app, it needs a higher version code. But nothing else.
