During a staged rollout, a crash rate spike is detected after 10% of users receive the new build. What is the immediate correct action in Play Console to stop additional users from receiving the update?
- A.Delete the release record from the production track inside the console
- B.Halt the rollout using the 'Halt rollout' option in Play Console
- C.Unpublish the whole app from the store listing to stop further downloads across the catalog
- D.Revert the signing key in the Play App Signing dashboard
Why B is correct
Play Console provides a 'Halt rollout' button that freezes the percentage at its current value, preventing any additional users from receiving the update while the issue is investigated. Deleting the release is not a supported action for live rollouts. Unpublishing the app removes it for all users. Reverting the signing key is unrelated to rollout control.
