Enter Task Name: GooglePlayRelease@3, GooglePlayReleaseBundle@3, GooglePlayRelease@4

Issue Description

In extension release 4.195.0, GooglePlayRelease@3 and GooglePlayReleaseBundle@3 have been deprecated and removed. GooglePlayRelease@4 task has been added instead.

You will retain access to GooglePlayRelease@3 and GooglePlayReleaseBundle@3 if you had 3.x.x version of the extension installed previously. These tasks won't be removed from your organization on update.

Error logs

Troubleshooting

It's recommended to migrate from V3 tasks to GooglePlayRelease@4

I am using GooglePlayRelease@3 for my app release, I saw the warning I tried to use GooglePlayRelease@4 but got this error A task is missing. The pipeline references a task called 'GooglePlayRelease' with version '4'. This indicates that the specific task version can not be found. (job 'Job1', step ''.)

my current version is 3.194.0 but i don't how to upgrade for 4.x.x and one more thing if i upgrade to 4.x.x will all the service connections will be deleted related to 3.x.x version as i have at least 10 production pipeline

Hi @tyagirajnish! You can't access the GooglePlayRelease@4 task yet, we're planning to release it today. Please wait until the extension self-updates to version 4.195.0 and then try again.

if i upgrade to 4.x.x will all the service connections will be deleted

No, your service connections won't be deleted. You can use the service connections related to 3.x.x in 4.x.x version of the task.

Thanks for the update @DaniilShmelev, one last thing do I need to update my pipeline once the update is done for the google play release task, if it is automatically updated 3.x.x to 4.x.x then I guess GooglePlayRelease@3 is no longer working

[DaniilShmelev]

@tyagirajnish if you had GooglePlayRelease@3 task available in your organization before, you will still have access to it. So, you will be able to choose between V3 and V4 tasks.
This won't be an option if you install the extension to an organization that didn't have 3.x.x version of the extension installed before. In this case, only V4 task will be available.

Hi @DaniilShmelev, just a note. The changelog link in your description of this issue appears to be for an edit of the doc, and this redirects me to the main github page. Could you please look to update it to the correct page?
