Why is very high Android app version number required by Play store?

Hi there,
We've recently rebuilt a v29 Android viewer app to v30. On trying to upload it Google Play required that the APK version be higher that 4000000 - does anyone know why this might happen? We followed the advice here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Setting version numbers in Web DPS App Builder - our legacy app version number was actually 4; is there some way this could have become 4 million?!
Thanks,
Toby

Did you ever have an app in Google Play that came from Woodwing? They did some interesting calculations to come up with their version code that lead to very large numbers being used.
Regardless, it really has no impact. Just put in 4000001 for your first submit, and then next time around leave the override checkbox off and App Builder will take care of it from then on.

App version number shows 2.0, we need this to show 1.0, the originla 1.0 didnt make it thorugh testing (denied)

Hi All,
Is is possible to change the approved app version number from 2.0 to 1.0. On the app world (using alt-tst) we see the released version as 2.0. We need this to show 1.0. Is there any way to change this? Can we delete older version of the app so that this will show as 1.0? Thanks.

App Store not showing app version number anymore.

I noticed that starting from a few weeks back, Apps with new updates in the 'Updates' tab do not show the version number of the app. Now only the app size in MB and 'What's New' is shown.
Anybody can shed light on this ?
Thanks.

It is not in the Applications folder?
Otherwise, I would suggest the Combo update

Need to update app version number for app upgrade

Hello, I need help with updating of my app (magazine) on App Store. I used different platform for creating digital publications. Now I am starting with DPS. I want to update my app on DPS, but there is problem with version of app. Contemporary version is 3.0.1 and App Builder generates version 1.0.0. Is it possible change version manualy?

You'll need to call product support and have them increase the version number for you. We have a few product support support people here as well, I'll change the title of your post to be a little more obvious and hopefully they'll see it.

Why does Firefox for Android crash when I try to play any media or plugin content?

I have had this device ASUS MEMO Pad for 6 months and Firefox for Android has never been able to play any media or plugin content without crashing. I have tried playing flash with the appropriate flash plugin installed and without and it crashes every time (it should not crash even without the plugin - it should handle it).
Even HTML5 video and mp3 audio will cause a crash every time (with tap to play enabled or disabled).

S5 Update, Apps won't update in Play Store

Since I installed the 4.4.4 update on my Galaxy S5, my apps will not update in the play store. They are just constantly downloading/installing. This is happening whether I am connected to WiFi or not. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

It may be possible that there just catching up with the new Update.! If your still having issues it might best after doing what SuzyQ suggested to Uninstall the Playstore from your App settings do a power cycle then when the phone loads back up go into your apps drawer pull the Playstore app back to home screen.. Go into the app except the terms let the Playstore fully reload give it about 30 min.. then check to see if your apps are responding in a normal way..

Find app version number

How do I find the version numbers for all of the installed apps on my ipad air?
thanks

Unfortunately, when using App Store > Purchased, if an update is available, it is the version of the update that is displayed, not the installed version.
robdrage's solution does indeed display the installed version: "Settings>General>Usage" then select each app.

Why isn't the Murfie app available on the Canadian Apple store site yet?re

I recently became a member of Murfie which enables me to store my CDs digitally on their site and stream them from anywhere I happen to be, I can also buy used CDs from other members .
They have a digital app so you can stream your music from their site.
Their app is available in the U.S. store but not the Canadian store.
Just wondering why that would be so.

OK, then perhaps your web/marketing folks should alter this statement on your web site:
Unlimited trading with other Murfie members
to say "Unlimited trading of your physical CDs with other members" to make it more clear what services you actually offer. Being right after the "lossless download formats" statement rather implies that you are allowing trading of the digital copies as well as the physical CDs.
Regards.

Why will the Apple music app on my iPad not play certain songs???

Hi,
Suddenly I noticed that certain songs, that will play without problem within iTunes on my PC, and with no problem on my iPhone 4S, will NOT play at all on my iPad (MB293KS) running iOS 5.1.1...
I have reset the iPad and then downloaded everything again, but the problem is till there. The songs that will not play are AAC-files and sampled in 44,100 kHz, 256 kbit.
If I use a third party player on the same iPad, like Bongiovi DPS, the songs play all right!!! So it seems that something is really wrong with the Apple Music App on this particular iPad??? What can I do about this? Are there any other music player I should concider as replacements for the Apple Music App? (Besides the Bongioivi, that is...).
Thanks!

I have now updated to the new iOS 6.1, but still this problem persists! How is it even possible to be able to play the songs in iTunes, on my PC, and on the specified iPad, using for example the Bongioivi app, but NOT when I use Apple's built in Music app?
So before the 5.1 upgrade, the songs were playing all right. But AFTER this upgrade, and still after the 6.1, they won't play???

How to use expansion files for AIR app (flash cs6) on Google Play Store

I am currently working on an app that will undoubtedly end up bigger than the maximum size of 50 MB for the APK, and I have no clue how to add files to an expansion pack, how to load expansion pack, what files need to be in expansion pack, or even what an expansion pack does/how it works. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great, I want to make an expansion pack now before I get even more files.

Haven't had a need to do this for file size purposes but since we can now download and use SWFs with ABC, I just specify my external SWFs when I compile and once my app is run it downloads the SWFs (with a pretty preloader) before the user can do anything. I have my own servers so I believe that's all that Amazon Bucket is actually used for. That user didn't have their own web servers to serve up the SWF content from.
Aside that, check the answer here. Google will turn any extra files uploaded for your app into OBB for you. You just upload the SWF:
Create expansion file for AS3 android Air App Flash cs6 - Stack Overflow
It also outlines if you need to upload multiple files then .zip them up and use an AS3 .zip library to extract the files.

You Upgraded to OS 10.2.1 and want to run Android Apps on Your BB10? Install Snap to Your Device!

If you've upgraded to OS 10.2.1.x on your BB10 device you can now install any free Android app directly to your BB10 smartphone directly without any special converting and without the need to connect to your PC. This opens up BB10 to the thousands of Android apps available in the Google Play store. However, you need an app to quickly search for and install these Android apps.
The best app available so far is called Snap. Unfortunately, Snap can't be installed directly to the device since it's a native BlackBerry app and is not yet available in the BlackBerry App Store. However, it can be quickly loaded to your BB10 device using your PC.
Here is a quick and easy way of installing Snap on your BB10 device using your PC. Once Snap is installed on your device you won't need your computer to install Android apps on your device!
1.   Download Sachesi for your computer Platform, i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux (Don't download the Sachesi bar file for BlackBerry or the apk file for Android)
Sachesi
2. Download Snap from here:
Snap
3. Connect your BB with the USB cable.
4. Double click on the Sachesi app you downloaded.
5. When it opens, click the "Install" tab. (If your device requires a password enter it here.)
6. Drag the Snap bar filed you downloaded in step 2 into the box under the install tab. As soon as you drop the file it will load to the device.
7. That's it! You can disconnect your device and enjoy direct downloading of Android apps on your BB10 device by opening Snap and using your Google Account.
Note: Not all Android apps will run on the BB10 and, occasionally, an app will not work quite as expected. However, the vast majority do run normally.

Hello John_Clark  Excellent contribution. Valuable information for all who want to upgrade and not wait until the update is releasedby our operator. It would also make a good listing of operators which has released 10.2.1

Need to set a higher version number for app store

Hello,
I have an update for an app that has been published with the single license. I now need to upload a DPS app with a higher version number than 1.1 for the Apple app store accept the upload.
Problem: I can't find anywhere to set the app version number.
(I am not talking about the adobe version number 27/26 but the one that is set in iTunes Connect)
When I click "create app" and updates it in the manager it generates a new app with a higher number in this sequence: 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3
But I need to set it manually. Where can I do this?
Thanks,
Mikkel

I googled some more, it seems that it is the Short String Version number and only Adobe can change it...

DPS android app for small screens, works, but poorly...

There is a way to get the DPS android app compatable with 1400 devices, including mobile phones.
In theory if you here reading this its because you have an android app made by the DPS app builder live in the play store and...
A: found out that the android app is only available on large/xlarge screens
B: are getting yelled at by your employer who bought the Adobe DPS subscription and claims this should work on his phone "because I looked at the Adobe site and it says android, my phone is an android, read their site and make it work"
C: found this because you were smart enough to read through the forums before suggesting this as a publishing solution to your employer and want to know if it really works on android phones, in whcih case, you may want to make it easy on yourself and just say "no, it does not" and then waid for Adobe to officially support small/normal screens perhaps head over to this post and bring some attention to it so we can collectivly improve this already awesome tool: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1097433
however, before you attempt this please keep in mind the following:
1- it does not work well, if at all, on certain devices. specifically the small phone devices with the slower processors. So what typically happens is that you need to delete the data for the app and wait nearly 10 min for the "checking for updates" to process and grab new edditions. Depending on your serivce provider, this can be a nightmare. So, do NOT even attempt this if you have a cap on your data plan, think about how long it would take to download a 100mb folio file on a 3g connection, not to mention the processor which the tablets have and phones do not have.
Here is some more data:
--Android 1 from Sprint: really super slow, thats all I gotta say
--Android 2 from Verizon, again, slow, but works
--Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1, Verizon 4g connection, works great, (10% of the time) lol. about 90% of the time the Galaxy Nexus needs to be restarted after installing, and will get stuck on the "updating library" screen. the only way to fix this for any of the above phones seems to be to clear all data, uninstall, re install, do not launch, restart phone, and then launch app.
I am going to test the following soon:
     Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 (1.6GHz Quad-core)
     (1.5GHz Quad-core)
          LG Optimus G E973
          Xiaomi MI-2
          LG Optimus 4X HD P880
          HTC One X
(the idea being that perhaps we can go through the list from google in the play store and limit the devices its on, but at least with this solutuon as described below we can get rid of the "not availabe on your device" notice.)
So before you read on, consider that for your end users. If you find a way to fix this, let me know, I have considered turning off hardware acceleration but have not tested this yet.
2- if you choose to attempt this make sure you have a good understanding of command line AND you have a new version of the app ready if you want to roll back.
consider this concept: (you should have these ready)
app a- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 100000 and 2.5.5.000. This is already in your google.play store account as a live app,
app b- the app you are about to build in this example below, it will in theory work on small, medium, large, and x-large android screens, lets say its version is 110000 and 2.9.9.000 (it will be MADE FROM APP A, you will open it, edit it, and wrap it back up.)
app c- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 200000 and 3.5.5.000 (which would be good to have in case your version b above does not work the way you want)
notice the VERSION codes. These are important because you can only go UP, you can not "roll back" to a previous version.
Again, I do not suggest this, but if you are daring and have some development background, feel free to give it a shot.
(I am not going to be able to support this info, but I can verify 100% that I got mine working, very poorly and slow, but it installs, pulls folios, and loads)
PC WINDOWS ONLY, I have not tried this on a MAC.
get this:
http://www.7-zip.org/
install it
get this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
read all about it.
go here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
get:
          apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2
and
          apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2
put them all in 1 folder, extract both items, all the way
the grab the
          android-viewer.apk
that Adobe DPS made, or whatever yours is named...
and the
          release.keystore
you made and put them in the same "stuff" folder. there should be 20 items total in here now.
get this:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u30-download-1377139.html
          jdk-6u30-windows-x64.exe
do NOT use any other version, do NOT use version 7, use version 6.
install it all. then find it. should be here- (C://program files/Java/)
I recomend grabbing it all and putting it in your ROOT like this:
C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
then, put everything from the "stuff" folder into C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
yep, all of it.
now we are ready to get funky...
run cmd line.
open start menu, type
cmd
into the search bar, hit enter
-------- run command line, get to proper directory
cd ..
cd ..
cd Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
(or wherever your 'stuff' is)
--------open up
apktool d android-viewer.apk android-viewer
(this will make a folder called 'android-viewer' and you will be able to go into that folder and find the XML files in there)
--------edit XML
in file: /android-viewer/AndroidManifest.xml
open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
android:versionCode="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_" android:versionName="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_"
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
in file: /android-viewer/assets/META-INF/AIR/application.xml
open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
          <versionNumber>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionNumber>
          <versionLabel>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionLabel>
<supports-screens android:smallScreens='true' android:normalScreens='true' android:largeScreens='true' android:xlargeScreens='true'/>
--------package it back up
apktool b android-viewer android-viewer-new.apk
(this will repackage the folder into a new APK, note the name -new.apk added to the end)
--------Sign
jarsigner -keystore release.keystore -signedjar android-viewer-signed.apk android-viewer-new.apk YOUR_ALIAS
(now you need to sign the -new apk and recreate it as signed)
--------Verify
jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs android-viewer-signed.apk
(if the last line does not say 'successfully verified' and there is an error, make sure you are using version 6 of JDK and not 7)
--------Update APK in play store
Visit this page
http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/about/distribution.html#instant
read the line that says "Instant publishing, instant updates"
while you do, understand you are being lied to, it takes anywhere from 30 min to 4 hours for your update to be "instant".
take the new "android-viewer-signed.apk"
rename it, upload it, activate it, de activate the old one.
important: beofe you click save, switch over to the "product details" tab and update your version notes.
head over to your app page in the play store.
sit there and click refresh every 10 min or take a nap and come back in a few hours.
when you finally see the version number has updated, go to the browser on your phone
find your app in the browser, refresh the page, make sure its got the new version number on it.
install it on your small screen device, cross your fingers, and hope you do not get a message that says "not signed properly"
if you do, feel free to start googling the stuff above to see where you went wrong.
If it does work, go to your boss and have him download it and run it and say "see, there ya go, its on your phone now" and when he says it does not work hand him a minni screw driver and a 1.6GHz Quad-core from the Galaxy Note II and tell him to simply upgrade the procssor in his phone because its too slow. lol.
-good luck and enjoi

Hi,
This is very interesting. I'm not an expert but i could do almost all the steps, but i can not do the sign step. i dont know where my release.keystore is. i created a .key.p12 file, is it?
I'm trying to do this for a Galaxy SIII
Thank you

What's the deal with notes and screenshots for upgraded app versions?

We uploaded a new version to replace our 1.1 version of an app in the store.
There was some confusion today that still persists:
(1) For a while, the link to our current version app became invalid and we lost like 2/3rds of our normal sales until the link became valid again. Anybody else ever see that happen? Very frustrating.
(2) Right now, there are two app versions inside itunes connect - the current selling one and the upgraded version awaiting review. I know the old one disappears when the new version is approved and goes on sale. But what is confusing is that the new screenshots and notes for the new version are also displaying in the current app version on sale in the store! I went ahead and added an explanatory note to potential downloaders... but is this a bug or something? Or is that the way it has always worked?
How do people here tend to handle the timing of new screenshots and descriptions when you add new features and want to show them off in your update app?
Thanks,
doug

This has been discussed a number of times here already.
The only items cached for an update release are the specific 'update/what's new in this version' notes.
All other changes will be updated immediately (within a few hours).
You have 2 choices:
1. Post the changes with a note (i.e. this is the next version, awaiting apple approval) so users aren't ticked by downloading the latest actual version.
2. As soon as your update is officially released (monitor it) change the text and images.
