My app currently has a minSdkVersion of 15 (ICS 4.0.3).
Due to additional dependencies, I have to go up with the min SDK to 19 (Kitkat 4.4).
I already build multiple APKs for min15 and min19 productFlavors.
I'd like to provide bugfixes for my existing users of min15, but don't want new users to install min15.
How can I accomplish this?
Is it possible to unpublish the min15 for new installs, but still provide updates for existing users?

At the moment this is not possible. You can't unpublish single APKs, just the whole app.

Multiple APK support is a feature on Google Play that allows you to
publish different APKs for your application that are each targeted to
different device configurations. Each APK is a complete and
independent version of your application, but they share the same
application listing on Google Play and must share the same package
name and be signed with the same release key. This feature is useful
for cases in which your application cannot reach all desired devices
with a single APK.

Thanks. The point is: I don't want new users to install the minSDK 15 app. It should only be possible for existing users to update bugfixed versions. So I don't know how this answer could help me.

I found this old answer here that says if you unpublished the apk, exiting users will still receive your new updates but however new users will not see this apk. So I guess you should create the new apk (with minSdk 19) and unpublish the old one
