I tried to use the publish-apk goal to upload my .apk to the Play Store but I got this error:

We probably have to either remove that goal or rewrite it. Not sure if anybody is using it.

All the TeamCity tutorials on the 'net for automatically uploading APKs either use Gradle or maven + this plugin. People are probably using it or going to use it in the future as long as those articles are out there.

I ended up using this in the end. Might be good reference code for resolving this issue if you choose to repair it.
