Just about to re-release my app getDealDone, first with GooglePlay;
- there are two version definitions in the Standalone Application Settings /
Android;

installations?
- - iOS setup only shows one version number
How should one interprete these?
The version number is what the user sees in the Play Store description.
The build number is what the Play Store and the device use to determine
whether the app has been updated, and if so, notifies the user's device
that an update is available. Build numbers must be whole integers.
The build number generally increases by one on each new build. The
device doesn't track whether the build number has actually increased,
only that it is different. During installation, Android will always
appear to install but if the build number is the same as the previously
installed app it won't really replace the existing app. To ensure that a
update/replacement is done, always change the build number.
The Android installer ignores the version number, it is for user
reference only.
