Every time you click 'build' in Andromo it increments the internal version number of your app by 1 automatically. The value you enter on the 'App info' screen is for your own reference. When you upload to Google Play, it's the 'internal' version number that determines if your app is newer or not.
1) that means i make "new project" 2) make the version higher example 3.4 to 4.4? 3) i have Custom Package Name. do i hv to enter the same name? 4) realize Package Name different with "new project" number
No, it means you just click 'build' and then update your app in Google Play. You don't have to do anything else. If you change the package name, or you create a new project, then you are making a new app rather than an update to an existing app.
@colinadams When we manually select the version number before we click Update, doesn't it affect the final package at all? Can't be because in some apps I noted down, when I updated it, from 1.0 to 1.01 and in others I updated 1.0 to 1.1 and they both resulted in that update number visible in Gplay.
The version # on the 'App Info' tab sets the 'version string'. It's the human readable version of your app. The internal number is what determines if your app is 'new' or not.
