Android Question Can't change version code?

[alexwekell]

Since I've upgraded to 3.82 I cannot create an apk with a new version code. The B4A project file shows that I can save with a new version code, but I still keep getting an error when uploading the APK that I am using the same version code in this case.

In this case

Old version (14) -> Update to work with Android L -> Change version code to (15) -> B4A saves version code -> Create .APK -> Error, you need to change the version code to something above 14

Another user suggested activating an older .APK and then trying to upload the new one, but that is not possible either due to this reason:

This configuration cannot be published for the following reason(s):

• It is forbidden to downgrade devices which previously matched version 14 to version 13, which would occur when
  API levels in range 4+ and
  Screen layouts containing any of [small, normal, large, xlarge] and
  OpenGL ES versions in range 2.0+ and
  Features containing all of [android.hardware.LOCATION, android.hardware.location.GPS, android.hardware.location.NETWORK, android.hardware.screen.PORTRAIT, android.hardware.TELEPHONY, android.hardware.TOUCHSCREEN].

In the Activity called 'Main', up the very top is this where you changed the version number ?

Yes.

Why are there duplicate attributes?

Have you checked: Do not overwrite manifest file option?

Can you post the content of the manifest editor?

Ah! That was it.

Have you checked: Do not overwrite manifest file option?

Unchecking this fixed it.
