Can we update the APK on Google Play Store with out changing the APP Version

Question

Can anyone let me know, Can I replace the APK uploaded to Google Play Store, with out changing the App version.

Basically I have uploaded the app with version 1.0 yester

Answer 1

FWIW, I was able to upload an APK file to Googe Play without increasing the version number.

1) I uploaded version 100 (1.0.0) a couple of days ago.

2) I generated a new APK with version 100 (1.0.0), and it uploaded without any problems.

Please note, however, in my case, the app is in Draft state. It has not been published yet. Once published, I wouldn't replace it with a build that has the very same version number (and besides, it probably won't be accepted by Google Play then.)

As a side note, I tried uploading version 10 (1.0), and Google Play would not accept it stating I need to increase the version number.
