Android Google Play Store automation to submit .apk

I'm trying to automate the app submission process in my project to Google Play Store. When I researched on this I find pretty amazing tools and libraries I have tried following libraries

https://github.com/Triple-T/gradle-play-publisher

https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane

https://github.com/bluesliverx/gradle-android-publisher

But these requires at least first manual upload of .apk file on Google Play Store. Is there any way where I can submit the app and its information without submitting test/beta apk to Google Play Store?

Fastlane (or other libs that uses Google Publishing API) requires you already have an App in Google Play. This is from Google's API website(https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/)):

Publishing API The Google Play Developer Publishing API allows you to automate frequent tasks having to do with app production and distribution. This provides functions similar to those available to a developer through the Developer Console, such as:

Uploading new versions of an app

Releasing apps, by assigning APKs to various Tracks (alpha, beta, staged rollout, or production)

Creating and modifying Google Play Store listings, including localized text and graphics and multi-device screenshots

So you can only "uploading new versions of an app"
