Starting to change an app I have (not yet registered) I copied and pasted my app into a new B4A container and after I run the AVD manager and start to run the new app, I get the following error.

I changed the manifest editor target version to read: 27, then 28 and still no success. Is there some other problem I don't see?
Thanks

I now see that I haven't transferred my designer over to the experimental project. I'll try that while I await some merciful soul who might help me.

Just uninstall the app on your device and install the new one

Or
Change version in new app to the same version number or higher in your app

Thanks, I'm not sure I understand but I'll try. I'm using the emulator (B4A). Oh!!! Yes I remember that. Great!
Thanks
I assume that the version # is in the manifest editor?

Oh yes, it's been months since I had to change one of these.

Initially thinking that changing the version code worked was a mistake by me. I had to first find the highest version code that I had used before. After adding 1 to that number I finally had success.

Thanks again yfleury
