Why am I getting "This edit has expired, please create a new Edit" when uploading to Google Play?

Context

When attempting to upload an App Bundle to Google Play via Codemagic, you may encounter the following error:

Uploading App Bundle to Google Play failed. This edit has expired, please create a new Edit.

Answer

This error means that the Google Play Edit created for the upload was no longer valid by the time Codemagic attempted to upload your App Bundle.

This can happen for a few reasons:

  • Another build was publishing the same app at the same time, causing the existing Edit to become invalid.

  • Someone made changes to the app in the Google Play Console while the build was running.

  • There was an unusually long delay during the publishing process, causing the Edit to expire before it could be committed.

To resolve this issue:

  1. Check whether any other builds were running for the same application at the same time and ensure no concurrent publishing is occurring.

  2. Confirm that no one made changes in the Google Play Console while the build was in progress.

  3. If neither of the above applies, try rerunning the build — this type of error is often transient and resolves on its own.

If the error persists after retrying, please reach out to support with your new build ID for further investigation.
