  Go to your YourApp/build/android/ folder.
  Make a copy of your AndroidManifest.xml.
  Rename it to AndroidManifest.custom.xml.

  Change following lines:
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1"

  to: android:versionCode="2" // A number higher than the one above
  android:versionName="1.1" // Version number to show

  Leave both files and recompile and zipalign.
  This works with me.

• why does TI this not automatically?

• Thank you very much for your answer i use it to update my application and it's works well.

  Anyhow i modified the file mobilesdk/[os]/[version]/android/builder.py and add the following lines to do it automatically:

  # Titanium native code here...
  manifest_contents = manifest_contents.replace('<!-- TI_PERMISSIONS -->',permissions_required_xml)
  manifest_contents = manifest_contents.replace('<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />', '<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="%s" />' % android_sdk_version)
  
  # Custom code to manage version
  match_version = re.search('android:versionCode="(d)"', manifest_contents)
  version_code = None
  if match_version != None:
          version_code = int(match_version.group(1))+1
  
  print("VersionCode=%s" % version_code)
  print("VersionName=%s" % tiapp.properties['version'])
  
  manifest_contents = manifest_contents.replace('android:versionCode="1"', 'android:versionCode="%s"' % str(version_code))
  manifest_contents = manifest_contents.replace('android:versionName="1"', 'android:versionName="%s"' % tiapp.properties['version'])
  

  If it can help someone.
