The package version in your .bar manifest file for New Bundle must be greater than the previous version
When updating an App for BlackBerry 10 on the ISV portal, a new error appeared when trying to submit my updated BAR file,
The package version in your .bar manifest file for New Bundle must be greater than the previous version, but lower than any the next release version added to the vendor portal. . Your .bar manifest file package version must be greater than 4.0. Correct your .bar manifest file and try again to continue.
After a bit of research, I realised that the version number is composed of two values:
The version number in the Widget tag of the Config.xml;
<widget xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets” xmlns:rim=”http://www.blackberry.com/ns/widgets” version=”4.0.0.0″>
Combined with the buildId that is passed into the BBWP tool.
The combined version number must be unique, and as per this new requirement greater than the app version as published in the ISV portal.
