How to solve “Your APK's version code needs to be higher than 2.” in Google Play's Developer Console?

Question

I\'m getting this error when uploading my Phonegap app to the Google Play Developer Console:

Your APK\'s version code needs to be higher than 2.

For my Cordova built app, the Gradle file didnt have the static code. It was picked using Android Manifest like this -

defaultConfig {
versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0")
applicationId privateHelpers.extractStringFromManifest("package")

if (cdvMinSdkVersion != null) {
    minSdkVersion cdvMinSdkVersion
}

}

I tried changing the version code in the manifest file, but no luck.

Not a good thing to do, but out of hurry I did this -

defaultConfig {
versionCode cdvVersionCode ?: (Integer.parseInt("" + privateHelpers.extractIntFromManifest("versionCode") + "0") + 2)
applicationId privateHelpers.extractStringFromManifest("package")

if (cdvMinSdkVersion != null) {
    minSdkVersion cdvMinSdkVersion
}

}

Note: For Cordova built apps, you need to make changes in the Gradle Scripts > File which says - "build.gradle (Module:android)"
