Google introduced the Android App Archive. This new service helps developers manage their app versions. Developers update apps frequently. They often need old versions for reference. The archive stores every past version automatically. Google Play saves these versions when developers publish updates.

Developers faced storage issues before. They kept old app versions on personal systems. This used a lot of space. The archive solves that problem. It stores all historical versions securely in the cloud. Developers access the archive through Google Play Console. They see a complete list of past releases. They download any version instantly.
A Google spokesperson explained the benefit. “This tool saves developers time and resources. They focus on building apps. They don’t worry about losing old work.” The archive ensures version history remains available. Developers roll back to stable versions if new updates cause issues.

The service supports all Android apps on Google Play. It requires no extra setup. Existing apps automatically gain archive access. New apps join the archive upon first publication. Google plans ongoing improvements. Feedback from developers will guide future features. The archive is now live globally.
