Was versionCode decreased after v2.1.0?

[IzzySoft]

I just was wondering why updates to the latest version failed. Looks like v2.2.1 has versionCode: 13 while v2.1.0 had versionCode: 1011, so Android considers it a downgrade. A closer look reveals: You no longer provide per-ABI builds but just a single "universal APK", hence that "Flutter rule" setting the versionCode to 1000 + versionCode for armeabi no longer applies.

May I ask to make per-ABI builds available again? That would also reduce the download size significantly (per-ABI was ~8MB, universal now is at ~24MB). That done, you could also pick a badge to link to your app in my repo next to the one from Google, as then recent versions would become available there again (currently they are removed as being "older") 😉

Thanks in advance!

@IzzySoft Thanks for raising the issue, I definitely can do such an adjustment, however, I'm not sure about when the next release will be so you can actually benefit from it :-/. Let's see, thanks again!

[IzzySoft]

Thanks for your fast reply, @tsinis! I'd say a day or a week or even a month would not matter much now. It just came up at my end as there were no updates for more than a year – at which point one of my scanners reports to me to take a look 😉

And basically, no much change needed. You could even simply add the armeabi build for know (based on the same commit of that last tag – so no new release needed), and everything else can be done later.

Please give me a ping here when I shall take another look. Everything at your pace of course, no pressure – I just want to make sure in the end it's not me having missed your fix 😉

Sure, I will, no worries.

@IzzySoft please take a look at release 2.2.2. Release CI is now using split-per-abi flag.

And to answer unasked questions on the last 2 lines:

• FUNDING.yml lets you maintain donation links
• Fastlane Cheat Sheet lets you maintain description & graphics to present your app

So all fine, thanks a lot! Feel free to close this issue (as it's solved) or leave it open adding questions left on your end.

@IzzySoft Yes it's correct I don't have a FUNDING.yml in this repo and I'm not using Fastlane in any of my projects (GitHub workflows + Codemagic are enough for my needs). Thanks, I'm closing.

I'm not using Fastlane in any of my projects

If you had, my updater would fetch that along with new releases. Of course you can also ping me if changes are needed.

Sure I would change my mind - I will let you know. Thanks.
