How to cancel Android publish process?

Question

I'm trying to add an application for beta testing for first time. I made a mistake and instead of adding it on beta tab I did it on production one.

I'm trying to cancel the publish process but I'm not able to do so.

I've switched to advanced mode and clicked "deactivate" but I get the following error

This configuration cannot be published for the following reason(s):

You must have at least one active APK.

I don't want to publish the App. This other question Unable to deactivate APK accidentally uploaded to Prod seems to indicate that there is no possibility to revert this mistake. How is that posible?????

EDIT

It seems I'll be able to unpublish this app. Is it possible to publish it again later using the same package id and just change the version?

No, you can unpublish but once your application has been live on the market you cannot delete it.Only older version can be deleted

But once it is on the market I can take it out from there, right? – StackOverflower Apr 28 '15 at 11:49

You cannot cancel the publishing, at least I think that if you upload a beta apk with higher version name it replaces the active app. The error I think it's because the app is not published yet it takes around 2 hours to publish.

It seems I'll be able to unpublish it. Will be able to publish later an unpublished app without changing the app package? – StackOverflower Apr 28 '15 at 13:13
I think so, google play it's a little bit tricky with this kind of things. – Tofasio Apr 28 '15 at 13:20
