Place the downloaded JSON key file in your Android project's app folder.
Use the following code snippet to retrieve the latest version:

import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredential;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.javanet.GoogleNetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestInitializer;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.services.androidpublisher.AndroidPublisher;
import com.google.api.services.androidpublisher.AndroidPublisherScopes;
import com.google.api.services.androidpublisher.model.AppEdit;
import com.google.api.services.androidpublisher.model.Track;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.security.GeneralSecurityException;
import java.util.Collections;

// ...

private String getLatestVersionFromPlayStore() {
    try {
        // Load credentials from the JSON key file
        GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential
                .fromStream(new FileInputStream(new File("path_to_json_key_file.json")))
                .createScoped(Collections.singleton(AndroidPublisherScopes.ANDROIDPUBLISHER));

        // Initialize the AndroidPublisher service
        NetHttpTransport httpTransport = GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport();
        HttpRequestInitializer requestInitializer = credential;
        AndroidPublisher publisher = new AndroidPublisher.Builder(httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY, requestInitializer)
                .setApplicationName("YourAppName")
                .build();

        // Retrieve the current app edit
        AndroidPublisher.Edits edits = publisher.edits();
        AndroidPublisher.Edits.Insert insertRequest = edits.insert("your_package_name", null);
        AppEdit appEdit = insertRequest.execute();

        // Retrieve the track information
        AndroidPublisher.Edits.Tracks tracks = edits.tracks();
        Track track = tracks.get("your_package_name", appEdit.getId(), "your_track_name").execute();

        // Get the latest version from the track
        String latestVersion = track.getReleases().get(0).getVersionCodes().get(0);

        // Commit and close the app edit
        edits.commit("your_package_name", appEdit.getId()).execute();

        return latestVersion;
    } catch (IOException | GeneralSecurityException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

Replace "path_to_json_key_file.json" with the actual path to the JSON key file you downloaded.
Replace "your_package_name" with the package name of your app.
Replace "your_track_name" with the desired track name (e.g., "alpha", "beta", "production")
