UiPath Activity Creator - package version not changed

Question

I am starting out with UiPath and am at the point of creating custom activities / packages. I am using UiPaths Activity Creator.

Following a successful publish to UiPath , I would like to be able to make code changes and then re-publish. As part of this, the code changes should result in a new version, which triggers an update option in Extension Management. Is this possible?

At the moment my solution is to change the version in Visual Studio, under properties.

You should edit xxx.xxxx.Activities.Design project's project file (on mouse right click context menu "Edit Project File"),and modify that following content:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug' AND '$(DesignTimeBuild)' != 'true'">
    <PackageVersion>0.1.6.$([System.DateTime]::UtcNow.ToString(MMddHHmmss))</PackageVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
    <PackageVersion>0.1.6</PackageVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
....

and the above 0.1.6 is what you want new publish's package version
