Hi Everyone! Hope you all are doing great.Today we are going to learn how to update your existing app in google play store and what changes needs to make in app with android studio.
First Open the Android Studio in your pc.Then click on Open project and select your project to open.
After opening your project , your project will Sync.Then you do change what you need to Change.I will update my Website Url , So I will paste my website url to the previous url.
My Changes are done, Now I will open the gradle.build file. And you can check the dependencies , whether any dependency has any update or not.If they have update, you give update to them. You can follow the video .
Now we will update the Version Code and Version name.
For updating the version code, you should check your last release app version code in Google play store. And in the app you need to increase the version code number. Your app version code should greater than google play store app version code.Otherwise google play store will not allow you to update your app.
I see my most recent release app version was 8 and version code 8.1, So I will increase one number and will write it version code 9 and version name 9.1.
Now click on Sync Now.
Ok So all changes are done,Now I will run my App on the Emulator for checking whether my app is working is not.
You can see my app is running successfully.
Now I will generate the signed app for updating in google play store.For doing that, click on “Build” from above option and click on Generate Signed App/Bundle. You can create whether Bundle or apk, both are ok. I will select apk.
Then give Keystore password, Key Alias and Key Password. These password should matched with the existing app in the play store. These password you have given when you generate this app first time. Now click on Release and Finish.
That’s it, your app will generate successfully. You can see my apk generated successfully. In the next video I will show you “How to update your app in Google play store”.
