Can anyone let me know, Can I replace the APK uploaded to Google Play Store, with out changing the App version.

Basically I have uploaded the app with version 1.0 yesterday, and today I want to reupload the APK with some important fix, and do not want to change the version.

Can APK apps be updated by Play Store?

If you download an APK that's signed and comes from a reliable source, you can install it manually over the current version of the app and you won't lose any data. And yes, when the next update arrives, you'll be able to update from the Play Store (I ran some tests to make sure, more on that below).

Do APK apps update automatically?

You can update apps on your Android device either automatically or manually.

You cannot update an existing app w/o changing its version code. Each time you update your app, you should increment its version code by 1. The version code is not externally visible to the user, and is used only as a means of versioning your application.

You can update an existing app w/o changing its version name. The version name is what the user will see on Google Play (i.e. version 1.10, 2.08, etc.), and has nothing to do with the actual version number of your application (it can be anything you want).
