A-ha - good tip about roll-out, uninstall & install. Was not aware of that possibility. But yeah, it's still a hack and there should be a better way - just let me delete/cancel latest release even if roll-out is 100% for whatever reasons.
About better testing - there's always room to improve testing, but no way it's going to happen with a legacy application where no active team is assigned. Only these irregular updates mainly forced by Google are done. Unfortunately.

building a business on any big vendor (google, apple, amazon, microsoft, etc) without at least making sure these risks are shared with the client seems like a fast way to run into these costly overtime problems.
