Cannot iterate: Android BuildConfig.java VERSION_CODE = 2

[davidakoontz]

I've had success deploying the FIRST internal testing product to Play Store. Now I'm stuck trying to iterate...

After making changes to the App and running the Android > skip export I get a BuildConfig.java with the VERSION_CODE = 2;

Trying to upload the signed "app-release.aab" I get Error “Version code 2 has already been used. Try another version code.”
I trace this "2" back to the VERSION_CODE = 2; But don't know where it is coming from! My iOS project file has:
Version 0.15.8
Build 7

Can anyone tell me how the Java is getting the 2 - so that I can change it and iterate my App?

I've seen that happen before – I think Fastlane sometimes bumps this automatically when repeatedly trying to upload a version to the Play Store. What does the "Latest Version" report on the Google Play Console page for the app?

I've always just gotten around it by incrementing the number to something higher. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what the number is, as long as it is higher than the most recently submitted version.

that is right in sync with BuildConfig.java

package painlesspassword.module;

public final class BuildConfig {
  public static final boolean DEBUG = Boolean.parseBoolean("true");
  public static final String APPLICATION_ID = "com.lifeworksiq.painless_password";
  public static final String BUILD_TYPE = "debug";
  public static final int VERSION_CODE = 2;
  public static final String VERSION_NAME = "0.15.1";
}

the 0.15.1 is coming from iOS Version in project file.
I've not got any 2s ... that I can find.

[davidakoontz]

I've changed the iOS Version from 0.15.1 to 0.15.8

Deleted the hidden .build folder and rerun the Xcode build...

The BuildConfig.java continues to hold:
public static final String VERSION_NAME = "0.15.1";

So I conclude that some automated generate code is NOT getting ReGenerated properly...

Since that line is right next to:
public static final int VERSION_CODE = 2;

I'm guessing I need to kick some tires to REGENERATE Android code....

Don't know the magic... SKIP CLEAN SKIP Regenerate

[davidakoontz]

From what I can tell...

skip export

Does a Build of iOS code. Makes an *.ipa archive.

Then does an Assemble process on the *.ipa

Then does an Assemble Android <<<=== I assume this does the code Generation ???

But the 0.15.1 has NOT changed in Version_Name!!

❯ pwd
/Users/david/Developer/Fastlane_projects/ppwd/.build/Android/app/generated/source/buildConfig/release/painlesspassword/module
❯ more BuildConfig.java
/**

• Automatically generated file. DO NOT MODIFY
  */
  package painlesspassword.module;

public final class BuildConfig {
public static final boolean DEBUG = false;
public static final String APPLICATION_ID = "com.lifeworksiq.painless_password";
public static final String BUILD_TYPE = "release";
public static final int VERSION_CODE = 2;
public static final String VERSION_NAME = "0.15.1";
}

So I conclude there is a CACHE somewhere keeping a OLD version of the iOS Project file.

[davidakoontz]

OH - I'm NOT using FASTLANE now. Could not get it to configure and work... doing hand deploys (and I hate myself for it)!

[davidakoontz]

Oh... I think I found the CACHE... it's listed in Skip.env file!

So I updated the Skip.env numbers... and starting down the build / export / sign... highway. (No Fastlane).
