Answer 1

People at android and your users need to just keep track of all the updates so it's required for you to mention the version by updating versionCode and versionName

Here is how to fix the problem:

EARLIER

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.random.projectname"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 24
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

NOW

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.random.projectname"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 24
    versionCode 2
    versionName "1.0.1"
}

Remember

• versionName is what is displayed at bottom of Long Description for the app's user
• While versionCode is for developer's and google's need and has to be incremented by one always for every new versionName even when you change versionName from v1.0.5 to v1.0.6
