Can i add tags to an application in google play console?

There now appears to be a Tags option in the Google Play Console, but they are predefined tags to choose from, so it's pretty limited, but may help some people finding this question:

Google Play Store Release Issue

I contacted the Google support and they replied within 24 hours.

The issue is the android:versionCode in the AndroidManifest.xml is lower than my previous release. After I fixed the issue I was able to release my app without any issue.

How I fixed the issue

I changed the android-versionCode to a higher value in <manifest tag in the config.xml file so AndroidManifest.xml has the higher value.

Full reply from Google

Hi,

Thanks for contacting Google Play Developer Support.

You're seeing that error message because your new APK has a lower version code than the previous APK. Newer APKs must always have a higher version code than the previous version, or the Play Store won't know that the new APK is an update. Please change your new APK's version code to be at least 206020.

Regards,

Google Play Developer Support

In project 'app' a resolved Google Play services library dependency depends on another at an exact version

There are many answers here for individual solutions that do not really get down to the problem. Here is how to solve this in general:

As the original log output suggests, it is useful to run the build in the terminal with the following command:

./gradlew --info assembleDebug

This will give you a list of all dependencies that are involved in the conflict. It looks similar to this (I removed the package name stuff to make it a bit more readable):

Dependency Resolution Help: Displaying all currently known paths to any version of the dependency: Artifact(groupId=com.google.firebase, artifactId=firebase-iid)

-- task/module dep -> firebase-analytics@17.2.0
---- firebase-analytics:17.2.0 library depends -> play-services-measurement-api@17.2.0
------ play-services-measurement-api:17.2.0 library depends -> firebase-iid@19.0.0

-- task/module dep -> firebase-core@17.2.0
---- firebase-core:17.2.0 library depends -> firebase-analytics@17.2.0
------ firebase-analytics:17.2.0 library depends -> play-services-measurement-api@17.2.0
-------- play-services-measurement-api:17.2.0 library depends -> firebase-iid@19.0.0

-- task/module dep -> play-services-measurement-api@17.2.0
---- play-services-measurement-api:17.2.0 library depends -> firebase-iid@19.0.0

-- task/module dep -> firebase-iid@19.0.0

-- task/module dep -> firebase-messaging@17.1.0
---- firebase-messaging:17.1.0 library depends -> firebase-iid@[16.2.0]

-- task/module dep -> com.pressenger:sdk@4.8.0
---- com.pressenger:sdk:4.8.0 library depends -> firebase-messaging@17.1.0
------ firebase-messaging:17.1.0 library depends -> firebase-iid@[16.2.0]

From this list you get to know 2 things:

1. Where is the conflicting depedency found
2. What versions of the conflicting dependency are set up

In my case the conflicting dependency is firebase-iid: It's either @19.0.0 or @16.2.0

To fix this you must define the top-level dependency of the wrong firebase-iid explicitly in your build.gralde.

So in the upper log you can see that there are 2 examples of an out-dated version of firebase-iid@16.2.0. One comes from -- task/module dep -> firebase-messaging@17.1.0 the other one from a third-party library (pressenger). We don't have influence on the third-party library, so nothing to do here.
But for the other dependency, we have to declare it explicitly with the correct version:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.0.0'

Now the build works again. Happy ending :)

Action requested: Declare your Ad ID permission

If your app uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK(Admob) version 20.4.0 or higher, you can skip setting up the permission manually since the SDK automatically declares it
