Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes a version is accidentally pushed and it's good to have such a safety net of rolling back to a previous version
Chrome Web Store lets roll back to the immediate previous version
Firefox Addons lets roll back to any previous version

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a UI that lets the dev select a version to roll back to

hi @avi12 ack your request. I am just curious, that how has the lack of this feature impacted you? Any real life scenarios would help me a lot to understand how should I prioritize this feature against other items on our backlog.

Suppose I had been working on a new feature and after finishing, I pushed the update, it successfully passed the review, but then I discovered a bug that could potentially break either the extension or that feature
In this scenario, rolling back to a previous release gives me the proper time to work on a hotfix

Ack the request. I or someone from my team will update this thread when we take up rollback to the previous version on our backlog.

In an ideal world:

  • In every situations one can upload a new binary.
  • Only the latest uploaded binary will be needed to be reviewed by the stores team.
  • One can choose any of the reviewed binaries to be served to the user as long as it is higher or equal to the highest version already served to the user.
  • If an already reviewed binary is chosen with a version lower than the highest already served, a rollback feature would be offered which modifies just the version of said binary.
  • A priority review can be requested with a certain budget (say once a year) in the case of a severe security vulnerability.

This would greatly improve the response time and reduced vulnerability in case of severe bugs and security vulnerabilities and help keep users secure and happy.
