Uploading upgrade version to Google Play

I am trying to upload v 1.1 of my application. I guess I don't have to define a new application but when I try to upload a new APK I get an error stating that v1 is already exist. I don't see how to change v1.0 to v1.1. Can someone refer me to a proper documentation.

Thanks, Simon

  • To increase the version of your android app you need to change the versioncode and versionname in your mainfest.

    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.example.package.name"
      android:versionCode="2" 
      android:versionName="1.1">

    The versioncode can only be an integer, just increase it by one every time you upload a new version. The versionname can be a string, here you define the version displayed in the Google Play Store.
