GAM: Unable to upload new version, don't want to publish previously reviewed version

[kenjamin]

So I'm in a weird limbo where I'm unable to submit a new version of my app (Run Goal) for review. I have a version that was reviewed and accepted, but it has an error and I don't want to publish it.  I have finished a fix and some new features, but I am not given the option to submit a new build for review.  Additionally, I seem to be locked out of modifying the description. It gives me the inaccurate error: 

not allowed to edit app name in current publish/review state

This was related to a question I asked, as there is a warning before you try and submit your app that says "you will not be able to edit the metadata or upload new builds" I was wondering if this suggested you couldn't release new versions of an app after it had been released the first time.

You can't update new builds while it is under review. Once it passes/fails review you can upload new builds.

@Cmspooner It has passed review but I cannot upload new builds. I do not want to publish the build that passed review.

Sorry about that @kenjamin: I'll make a feature suggestion (if it's not already in the pipe) to be able to delete a specific build and also submit a new version even if the previous accepted one isn't published.

Unfortunately, for now, you'll have to publish your application to submit a new build. What you can do to prevent new users with the link to install your application is to move it to private until the next version is approved. It's the only workaround I have in mind right now... Sorry for the inconvenience.
