I've developed and uploaded an android app to the Google Play Store, and I "accidentally" clicked the enable Google Play App Signing.. Now my app has been "stuck" at that stage for some hours now, and I'm suspecting the signed .apk (signed by my, by a jks I have on my machine) is not signed with the correct certificate..

Since I clicked enable to the Google Play App Signing, I got a "upload.pem" and a "deployment.pem", but I have no idea on what to do with these to certificates, and absolutely no idea on how to sign my .apk with these/one of these, since the info page only says that you need to use the upload to sign the .apk. (https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423)

So I'm wondering if anyone could help me with what to do, and how to sign the app correctly?..

You do not need to import upload.pem to keystore that you used to sign the APK previously, unless you are using a new keystore to sign the APK. Just sign it with your keystore and upload it to Play Store.
