Bro, that error pops up when your new APK still has the same versionCode and versionName as the old one.

Thanks for raising this! We understand you’re trying to upload an updated version of your app but are encountering the error.
Here’s what’s happening:
-
Hexnode checks whether the versionCode and versionName are distinct from the version already present in the Apps tab of your portal.
-
If either of these values remains unchanged, the portal will block the upload.
To resolve this:
-
Increment the versionCode (e.g., 1 → 2).
-
Update the versionName (e.g., 1.0 → 1.1).
You can refer to the official Android documentation for guidance:
Version your app | Android Studio | Android Developers
