Oops, sorry that I missed this issue when it was posted.

But as you've probably seen from using the plugin (and perhaps from other bug reports), the Google Play API likes to sometimes randomly throw generic server errors which go away after a few hours.

Hopefully you tried again later and saw that the API started working again.

I've added a note about this type of server error to the troubleshooting guide on this plugin's wiki page.

Hi. Its still not working, so its not one of those random generic server errors.

But I have one new piece of information. If I revert back to the version before it started failing, then it uploads fine (if we just take that version and increase the version number, that is). I haven't had the time to investigate further, but will report back when I do.

skjalg: Thanks for the update!

That sucks that it's consistently broken for you, but in that case I would definitely encourage you to get in touch with Google Play Developer Support — if it's always broken for certain APKs, then they should really fix their API…

  Build step 'Upload Android APK to Google Play' marked build as failure

ssnvgirish: This is an issue listed on the plugin page: https://plugins.jenkins.io/google-play-android-publisher#GooglePlayAndroidPublisherPlugin-GoogleJsonResponseException:500InternalServerError

If the Google Play API is throwing errors, there's not much that the plugin can do about this.

orrc First of all thanks for the reply.

I know and contacted google play as well but they said it is problem with Jenkins. I am trying to solve this issues form past few days. Is there any workaround that could help?

ssnvgirish: Did you get any more details from Google? Does it always happen with the same APKs? Has it happened before?

Like I mentioned, if the Google Play API is returning a 500 Internal Server error, that's an error on their side.  The Jenkins plugin is using the API library provided by Google.  I haven't upgraded it in a long time, but their API also hasn't changed.

All I can suggest right now is to keep retrying periodically, and asking developer support again, and asking for more details.

orrc i changed my min sdk version to 18 and it worked.. no idea why it did not work for below version. Will update if i get to know the reason.

Thanks for the reply
