I'm trying to deploy our Nativescript app to the Google Play Store using a YML pipeline in Azure DevOps. There is a deployment task that automatically increases the versionCode and versionNumber, which always used to work fine.
However now that we upload, I get this error:
##[error]Error: Failed to upload the bundle /Users/runner/work/1/_Android/app-release.aab. Failed with message:
Error: APK specifies a version code that has already been used..
I see that the latest version in Google Play store is 1.0.3601
In the release pipeline I see that the versionCode generated is 1.0.3603 and versionName is 1.0.3604
How can this be solved? What am I doing wrong?
As suggested by User Kingston Fortune - Stack Overflow, make sure to change versionCode and versionName in build.gradle file:
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.my.packageId"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 27
versionCode 2 <-- increment this by 1
versionName "2.0" <-- this is the version that shows up in playstore,
remember that the versioning scheme goes as follows.
first digit = major breaking changes version
second digit = minor changes version
third digit = minor patches and bug fixes.
e.g versionName "2.0.1"
}
References: Upload failed You need to use a different version code for your APK because you already have one with version code 2 , Problem with build version when publishing APK to Play Store , https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-google-play-deploy/issues/31 and https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning#appversioning
Tell me sir please what I do always same message help please update fail
If you have uploaded you android apk previously on play store then next time
whenever you upload a new built you need to change your version code
and version name (every time you upload a new built).
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
Problem
I am trying to upload my app to the google play store, but when I do I get an error saying,
Upload failed
You need to use a different version code for your APK because you already have one with version code 1.
I don't know why this is because this is the first version of my app to go onto the google store. I would love some help fixing this!
app.json
{
"expo": {
"name": "Phoenix",
"icon": "./CandidtwoImages/Phoenixlogo.png",
"version": "0.1.0",
"slug": "Phoenix",
"sdkVersion": "21.0.0",
"ios": {
"bundleIdentifier": "com.giise.phoenix"
},
"android": {
"package": "com.giise.phoenix"
}
}
}
I had the same issue, and none of these solved it.
The solution:
In app.json
"expo": {
expo stuff
},
"android": {
"versionCode": 2
},
put in versionCode and update to 2. It must be an integer (notice not in quotes)
You need to increase versionCode in build.gradle :
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
versionCode - internal version number used to identified version on Google Play
versionName - version number shown to users
Details here : https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning.html
This happen because the frist time you upload an APK, it will automatically set as version 1, (in android studio also set version 1 - you can see at build.gradle). So you have to change version in build.gradle frist than generate and upload. Don't worry
To update your app on store you need to update/change your version number too.
In expo this can be done through app.json version prop.
To update your app you can use expo's update feature too if you didn't change any native data or sdkVersion etc.
Form Documentation of EXPO
For the most part, when you want to update your app, just Publish
again from exp or XDE. Your users will download the new JS the next
time they open the app. There are only a couple reasons why you might
want to rebuild and resubmit the native binaries:
If you want to change native metadata like the app’s name or icon
If you upgrade to a newer sdkVersion of your app (which requires new native code)
To keep track of this, you can also update the binary’s versionCode
and buildNumber. It is a good idea to glance through the app.json
documentation to get an idea of all the properties you can change,
e.g. the icons, deep linking url scheme, handset/tablet support, and a
lot more.
Change the AndroidManifest file with the new version code.
<manifest
android:versionCode="1.1"
android:versionName="1.1">
I have built my app using the phonegap build service. When I first published my app I had the following versions for android
versionCode = "1"
version = "1.0.0"
They showed up properly on the playstore.
When publishing an update I updated the versions as follows
versionCode = "2"
version = "1.0.1"
But immediately after publishing the playstore dashboard shows versions as
version = 28(1.0.1)
Where is the 28 coming from?
On Phonegap Build whenever you rebuild the app, android version code auto-increases. However, you can set the build version by setting 'versionCode'
http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
3 xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
4 id = "com.organization.appName" versionCode="2" version = "1.0.0">
I am trying to upload v 1.1 of my application.
I guess I don't have to define a new application but when I try to upload a new APK I get an error stating that v1 is already exist.
I don't see how to change v1.0 to v1.1.
Can someone refer me to a proper documentation.
Thanks,
Simon
To increase the version of your android app you need to change the versioncode and versionname in your mainfest.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.package.name"
android:versionCode="2"
android:versionName="1.1">
The versioncode can only be an integer, just increase it by one every time you upload a new version. The versionname can be a string, here you define the version displayed in the Google Play Store.
