Resubmit an app to Google Play

I'm trying to resubmit an app to Google Play, but I can seem to find a way, technically to do so.

I have answered yes to "Is your app primarily directed towards children under the age of 13 as defined by COPPA?", and then there are different things to edit in different pages.

The problem is that there isn't a save button, only "RESUBMIT APP". So when I'm navigating between the different pages, I cannot find a way to save the changes:

Google Play listing has been modified. Do you want to leave without saving?

Resubmit app button doesn't work as well, as there are still errors.

I need to update the privacy policy url, content rating and check the "Designed for Families" checkbox.

Did anyone encounter something similar and knows how it can be resolved?

Go to "Store listing" and click on "RESUBMIT APP" Now "RESUBMIT APP", will be disabled and grey.

There will be questions asked such as price, does app contains ads or not, so select yes if you previously selected no and vice versa, now that resubmit button would be blue, and then change back to the original settings of yes or no and click on resubmit app.

It will show rejected on the dashboard, but on clicking on app, you will see status of processing under rejected, confirming that app has been resubmitted.

On the left pane, scroll up to Publishing Overview here. Then click on Send for review. Make sure you have fixed the issues sent to you by mail.

A possible way to resubmit a rejected update

• Sign in at Google Play Console.

• Select your app for resubmission.

• Go to "Store presence" > "Main store listing".

• Make a minor change at the store listing to activate "Save" button. For example, add a space after app title or description.

• Click "Save" (after saving you may undo your minor change and click "Save" button again).

• Go to the rejected update and click "Send for review" button.

Done.

As of 10/1/2020, it would appear access to the Resubmit App action is managed via the Publishing Overview > Managed Publishing Status option which is set to "automatic" by default.

My understanding is that the "automatic" setting will automatically resubmit any updates.

I had an app get flagged and, even after the automatic update/resubmit I was still seeing all the flag warning messages. Very confusing IMO.

Today the only way is generate a new App Bundle updating the versionCode and upload it again.
