I have a problem where AS installs a version of my app v1.07 onto my phone when it is plugged into my PC (Windows). This is the latest version.
I then generate an APK and copy it to a location on our intranet (since it is local to our company only)
If I then link to the intranet on my phone, and download and install this APK, the app then reverts to v1.06 on my phone.
Initially I thought that AS was not updating the APK, but subsequently I found this not be the case.
On a different phone that had an even older app (v1.04), I linked to this APK and installed it, and it correctly reflected v1.07. So the APK generated is definitely v1.07. I also tested this on a phone that had never had the app previously installed, and it went straight to v1.07 from this downloaded APK.
So back on my phone I went into app settings, and deleted the data & cache, an then uninstalled the app.
I also went to downloads and APK's downloaded, and deleted anything downloaded. I then tried to install the APK again from the intranet link, and it is AGAIN v1.06.
I can't figure out where it is getting this v1.06, but also why it isn't reflecting v1.07 when that is what the APK version is...?
For reference, I have also asked this question on Stack Overflow
