title: Android developer "Upload new APK to Production 99% complete" and stuck
body: <p>I have attempted to upload an app via the Google Play Developer Console for the last two days, but the apk uploads until "99% complete" in firefox or until "processing" in chrome and the is stuck.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BrB4i.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>This is not my first app. I have uploaded and published two others without incident.</p>
  
  <p>I have attempted the upload with following with all the same result:</p>
  
  <p>*Firefox 28.0 (Ubuntu 13.10)</p>
  
  <p>*Firefox 28.0 Incognito (Ubuntu 13.10)</p>
  
  <p>*Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 (Ubuntu 13.10)</p>
  
  <p>*Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 (Ubuntu 13.10) Incognito</p>
  
  <p>*Chrome mobile 33.0.1750.166 on Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.1 phone    </p>
  
  <p>*Chrome (Windows 8)</p>
  
  <p>Logs start out fine:</p>
  
  <p>POST <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload</a> [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 537ms] POST <a href="https://clients2.google.com/uploadstats" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://clients2.google.com/uploadstats</a> [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1402ms] POST <a href="https://clients2.google.com/uploadstats" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://clients2.google.com/uploadstats</a> [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 1457ms] POST <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload</a></p>
  
  <p>then it hits 99% complete and these errors start posting:</p>
  
  <p>POST <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload</a> [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 3816ms] POST <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload</a> [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 739ms] POST <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload</a> [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 668ms] POST <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/upload</a></p>
  
  <p>I also tried advancing the version in the AndroidManifest.xml. </p>
  
  <p>As a test I added the apk in question to the Amazon Appstore. No difficulties. The apk uploaded seamlessly. Google Play Store issue?</p>
  
  <p>Also tried adding a new application in the developer console and then uploading the apk. </p>
  
  <p>Also tried starting from scratch and rebuilding the app in Eclipse and then attempted to upload the new apk. No luck</p>
  
  <p>I have been emailing with Google Help. 8 days ago they asked for the apk in question and HAR file generated when the upload gets stuck. I sent both. They replied they were looking into the issue. A few days later this question came alive with others experiencing the same issues! I emailed again that I was still encountering issues.</p>
  
  <p>Then on March 19th they responded and asked for:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ul>
    <li>A screenshot of the error message.</li>
    <li>The APK you're attempting to upload</li>
    <li>The browser versions you were able to test with and OS type that you are using.</li>
    <li>Information from the browser's error console or http logs.</li>
    <li>What steps did you take to reproduce this issue?</li>
    </ul>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Any other suggestions? </p>
