You can try below steps. 1. Access the Google Play Console: Sign in to your Google Play Console account using the link https://play.google.com/console 2. Select the app: Locate the app you want to update from the list of your apps. 3. Initiate a new release: Navigate to the Release management tab. Under the Production track click on Create new release. 4. Upload the updated app bundle: Click on the App bundle explorer tab. Click Upload and select the updated Android App Bundle (AAB) file. Ensure that this AAB file is signed with the same key used for the previous version. 5. Review and rollout the release: Once the AAB file is uploaded review the release details: Version code (incremented from the previous version) Release notes (optional but recommended for informing users about changes) Click on Review to initiate the review process. After Google's review (if applicable) you'll be able to Rollout the update to make it available to users. Key points to remember: Signing key consistency: The updated app bundle must be signed with the same key as the original version. Using a different key will be considered a new app and users won't receive updates automatically. Version code increment: Each update must have a higher version code than the previous one. Thanks

To update an application in Google Play Console with the previous signed key you need to follow these steps: Open the Google Play Console and navigate to your application's page. Go to the Release section and click on Manage next to the release track you want to update (e.g. Production). Click on Create new release and select the option to use the previous signed key. Upload the updated APK or App Bundle file for your application. Fill in the release notes and any other required information. Review the release and click on Save or Review to proceed. If everything looks good click on Start rollout to production to publish the update to your users. It's important to note that when updating an application with the previous signed key you must ensure that the new APK or App Bundle is signed with the same key as the previous version. This is necessary to maintain the app's integrity and allow users to receive updates seamlessly.
