I am having a problem, when I try to update an APK production file in android, it says

"Your APK's version code needs to be higher than 19."

My app is built with phonegap and I have the following code in my config.xml .

<widget xmlns     = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
    xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
    id        = "com.rodriguezcab.release"
    version   = "20.0.1">

Though I have version = "20.0.1", it keeps saying "Your APK's version code needs to be higher than 19." Any solutions?

You can set this in config.xml (in the root of your cordova project). This is better than setting in 'platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml' because platforms folder can be deleted.

In config.xml set this in the root (widget) node:

versionCode="20"

Note this changed since previous versions (don't you love that?) when it was: 

android-versionCode="20"

  • Also note it doesn't just need to be different, it needs to be a greater number. For example I accidentally added a digit to my version number, and there's no going back. – mike nelson May 20 '16 at 08:32
  • Thanks, I needed to add the versionCode attribute to fix my rejected PhoneGap Build app. – Magnus Smith Dec 16 '16 at 12:04

Check platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml

There you will see android:versionCode

This number needs to be incremented for new versions of the app. Don't get this confused with android:versionName that gets changed from the config.xml file when you do your build.
