Android app fails to upgrade after changing from cli-6.1.0 to cli-6.3.0

Hello,

I recently changed the phonegap-version preference in my config.xml from cli-6.1.0 to cli-6.3.0. If I install the new app fresh onto my device it installs ok. If I try and upgrade from a previous version of the app that was using cli-6.1.0 it does not install and gives the message "App not installed."

If I change back to cli-6.1.0 and make no other changes in then upgrades fine.

This is on a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) running Android 6.0.1

Could you let me know what the problem is?

Maybe, it has something to do with this: cant update already published app after phonegap build

To summarize it: If you have set the android versionCode as widget attribute, an "8" was added to it by gradle. When setting "1" as versionCode, it became "18". "2" became "28" etc.
It seems like this has been fixed/changed. Now, the versionCode won't be increased by PGB.
To test it, append an "8" to you versionCode. (So again: If you have set your versionCode to "1", change it to "18". If you have set it to "2", change it to "28".)
If the update works now, it was caused by this change. If it doesn't work, please provide your config.xml.

Thanks, I wasn't using a versionCode attribute so I inspected the version codes generated by PGB and discovered the problem was indeed the spurious 8 on the end. Adding a specific versionCode has sorted it out.
