Updating an older app version in the Playstore while a new version is in staged rollout

I have an app in the Playstore for which I plan to release a major update - lets call them version 1.0 and version 2.0. I would like to do so via a staged rollout, so that I can control the percentage of users who will receive the version 2.0 update. The staged rollout phase may take several months before I decide to release it to 100% of the users.

I would like to know if it is possible to release a small update for version 1.0 once I have begun the staged rollout of version 2.0. I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) that if I upload an apk of version 1.1, then all of the users in the staged rollout group will receive this new update, and therefor switch from 2.0 to 1.1 - this is obviously not desirable. Is that what will happen? And if so, is there any way around this problem?

Exactly occurs this you say and you have two different vias to solve this:

  • The first one is to upload 1.1 on production, for all users and 2.0 in beta for one or multiple groups of people and after time that you want, then upgrade 2.0 to production.

  • The second via is upgrade first to 1.1 on production and later upgrade to 2.0 with staged rollout.

Tell me if I helped you, regards!
