To update an app using our Developer Console, access the editing options of the app by following these steps:
- When you encounter the different sections of the Developer Console, access the Apps section.
- Select the app to be updated from the list of published apps. Then click on the Edit button in the list's Actions column.
- To change some of the information fields, go to the Information tab. Currently, it is possible to change the icon, the author's name, the official website, the category, the recommended age, and the nationality.
- To publish a new version of the app, access the Files section located in the editing tabs of the application.
- Click on the + Add new version button and fill in all the information indicated in the How to publish an app on Uptodown section. In the case of app updates, there are other factors ought to be taken into account:
-
- The package name must be the same as that used by other previously released versions of the app. If not, don't hesitate to contact our support team to manually request the change and its reasons.
- The version code of the file must be different and higher numbered than the versions that have been previously published. Otherwise, that update will be listed as an older version and will not be offered as a primary download by default.
-
Note: Uptodown's team of editors autonomously updates those applications that have released a new version. If you don't want to allow it and be the only one to request the insertion of updates, check the box Disable upload by Uptodown editors.
The publication time for app updates is much shorter than for new releases. Therefore, unless there are technical problems, the updated file will be available for download on Uptodown in no more than 24 hours.
