I have the same problem as smileeomar, namely Google Play objecting to the .apk: as in attached screenshot.

As you can see from the attached mail message text file, I purchased it on 19 June 2012.

I've followed the tutorial & created a new keystore file for my app & then compiled the app again to create a new .apk file. When I now try to upload the .apk file, I get "Google Play requires versionName to be set in AndroidManifest.xml". I've looked at the AndroidManifest.xml file in the project's Objects folder (presumably the same as the one in the .apk file because they have the same time & date stamp) & it shows versionName as "" (versionCode is 1 i.e. the same as I set from B4A's Project - Application Version menu entry). What do I do?

See Project -> Application Version.

Thanks, Erel. I set Project-ApplicationVersion-VersionString to 1 which resulted in the versionName being 1: I didn't expect that VersionString would become versionName. Uploaded OK to Google Play.

PS AndroidManifest.xml now shows:
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1"
