Android - Different Builds

[Ralph DiMola]

This thing that confuses me is that the error was for "shadowing". My question is why does armv7 shadow(ie; target the same device natively) as arm64?
I wonder if there should be only 2 builds 1)armv7 AND arm64 2) Intel AND Intel 64? Theoretically the armv7 and arm64 will both work on a arm64 device. Also Intel and Intel 64 build would work on an Intel 64 bit processor. But this logic breaks as an armv7 build will work on an Intel device(via built-in emulator)???

your version code needs to be higher than the previous one, each time you upload an update

you could do:

arm-v7a vc1      arm64 vc2         x86  vc3           x86-64 vc4

then next update of your app:

arm-v7a vc5      arm64 vc6         x86  vc7           x86-64 vc8

etcetera

when you manage a release, then you can upload 4 apk's to the console for that release

But whatever version code you now have, the next ones need to be higher every time.

As far as i understand you need to upload all apk's per release and not a release per apk architecture
