scripting question involving google play services and an XML document.

So here is the deal. I have my first apk uploaded to my alpha test. I want to put my 2nd one up with my updates. I tried and it said that i needed to change the version number higher. When i change my manifest XML document to anything other then

this …

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

it has an error and crashes and says it cant merge manifests and so on.

i tried to change the version to this

<?xml version="1.2" encoding="utf-8"?>

or

<?xml version="2.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

and so on and it brings up the error. I am not sure if i am just miss understanding how XML works or what, but I thought that I just needed to change that number to a higher one then the playstore and build my APK. It wont build though. Any ideas what I am doing wrong and or could change? Am I attempting to adjust the version number in the wrong place or in the wrong way? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to view this. In case you need to see it I will link the rest of the Manifest XML file that was in the googleplayservices package.

Thanks! Hope to understand what is going wrong soon :slight_smile:

oh, one other thing. it will have those errors and throw them at me, but if i go back and swap it back to 1.0 it works just fine to build the APK

here is some of the error message

it is no longer fixing when i go back to 1.0 :confused:

parsing error comes when there is compilation error due to unmatched pparanthesis
