Android upgrading the existing app

Question

I am trying to upgrade the existing application by changing the following in the manifest file.
changing From

android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"  

To

android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.1" . 

I am using the same keystore, but when I attempt to publish the app using the Google Play Developer Console, I am getting an error saying:

"This configuration cannot be published for the following reason(s): All devices that might receive version 1 would receive version 2. Some devices are eligible to run multiple APKs. In such a scenario, the device will receive the APK with the higher version code."

How can I upgrade my app. Thank you very much in advance .

Answer 1

I did the mistake to switch to "advanced" mode and it saved the App as draft somehow. Seems the developer console doesn't like that.

Delete the App, switch back to "Simple Mode" and upload the .apk again.

This worked for me.

The advanced mode is for uploading and managing multiple apks for the same application. Simple mode is for uploading single apks so in most cases it should be suitable.
