Is there a max value for versioncode?

Question

We always have to increment versionCode by some arbitary number to publish it to google play.
Is there limit to that value and what will happen if it is rea

Answer 1

According to android documentation and the gradle DSL documentation:

android:versionCode — An integer value that represents the version of the application code, relative to other versions.

Checking the java doc, by default, the int data type is a 32-bit signed two's complement integer, which has a minimum value of -2^31 and a maximum value of (2^31)-1.

Then the maximum value is 2^31-1.
