Change code version of an application on Google Play Console

Question

I am trying to upload an .apk on GooglePlayConsole. This .apk is generated with Expo (and coded in React-Native).

The first time, I generated it by default, and it got the codeVersion: 1 (which is basically a batch of permissions). However, my .apk has been unauthorized due to "No need about this permissions".

So I rebuilt the .apk with another codeVersion (without any permissions), which should be approuved. However, when I am trying to upload the .apk on GooglePlayConsole (where my previous has been unapprouved), I got an error message :

You should use another code version for your APK or Andoid App Bundle. The code 1 is already use by another APK or Android App Bundle.

But I do not know where (or if) I can change the codeVersion of an application on GooglePlayConsole.

I thought about deleting the app, but this is not possible once it has been rejected.

There is a screenshot : https://puu.sh/CFAQS/ff43b0ccb8.png

Thanks.

Change the versionCode in gradle app:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "applicationId"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1 ----- Here you should change your versionCode
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}
