Who to name our apps ?

As we know in Android we have 2 fields which indicates the version of our application, the VersionName and the VersionCode.

The VersionCode is an integer value which is increased by 1 each time we publish a new version in the PlayStore. (the max value is 2100000000).

The VersionName is which the user can see. For that is very importan to keep it legible.

We recommend:

  • Set as 1.0 the first version which is upload to the PlayStore.
  • Increase the second number for each feature added, for example 1.0 -> 1.1
  • For each bug fixed or small improvement increase the third number, for example 1.0 -> 1.1.1

If the same app is being developed in other platform like iOS is very recommendable to try to keep the same version name, the first 2 numbers, except the last one related the bug fixes.
