Google play don't let me update my app

Question

I already made a huge search and don\'t know why Google Play are not letting me update my Prod app. Their error message does not make too much sense for me, actually I don\'

This has become a big problem for me too. I tested an apk that targets Api23, found out my app had problems when targeting 23, reverted to a lower Api and now I can't update my app without including the problems caused by 23.

Somebody here claims to have solved the problem by testing in Alpha, but that is not working for me: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-developers/dpK2XO025kQ/ciD_X4SoCQAJ

Edit: I talked to Google support and this is what they are suggesting now: With this issue, what you can do is press "disable beta testing" in the APK settings. This should resolve this issue for you. You should be able to go back to your previous API version.

I've had no luck so far, as my Beta Testing refuses to disable. So I'm working to properly adapt my app to Api 23.

This is clearly a bad move from Google. Put simply, with this policy you test a feature in Beta and the system forces you to implement it in Production, even if the testing went bad. Is that not bad practice?
