This package is superseded by one or more higher-ranked packages


I am trying to update my app in the windows store with a new version. I am getting the error message in the UI:

This package is superseded by one or more higher-ranked packages.

The version number of the new binary is higher than the existing one. Here is what the version numbers look like in the store UI: enter image description here

How can I raise the rank of the new version so that the store accepts it? What are the elements to package rank? I searched online for this but could not find the answer. Thanks.


Solution

  • A day after first having the problem, I submitted a package numbered 2.0.6, which I had tried yesterday, and it went right in.

    I tried to delete the original submission as suggested above, before trying submitting 2.0.6, but couldn't find a delete button. Maybe by opening the older one up in the UI I made the UI realize it was older. dunno.
