Welcome to the Android versioning series, a part of the Android CI/CD series. In this video, we begin with the basics of Android application versioning, focusing on version codes and version names. We explore how these are declared in the build.gradle.kts file and how to display them in your app's UI. Learn about the importance of version codes as integers that must increase with each update, and how version names can be any string for human understanding. We also demonstrate what happens when you change these values and the impact on app installation. Stay tuned for more on refining versioning strategies in upcoming videos.
