Basic 002 - Upgrade icon pack versions

Why should we upgrade our icon packs?

As we know, the icon pack is a apk file, that’s to say, actually it is an general Android application.
Suppose that you published your icon pack with first version to others, and then you made some changes(such as adding new icons), you need to build your icon pack once more and publish it.

The question is, how to identify your icon packs with different version?

Here are 2 concepts about Android version system.

Version name: It’s a literal string value for users, like 1.0.0, 1.1.0 or 1.2.0-beta, no special rules.
Version code: It’s a integer value for Android system, like 1, 2 or 3, the important rule is it must be increased. For example, if the current version code is 3, the next version code should be larger than 3, otherwise the new exported icon pack CAN NOT be installed successfully. (If you have that case, you must uninstall the old installed icon pack and try to install new one)
