Hi,
Google Play and Android overall in order to correctly detect newer versions of applications, uses <ApplicationVersion></ApplicationVersion> tag in .csproj which accepts an integer value (e.g. 5).
The standard for C#/.NET projects regarding versioning is <Version> which is Assembly Version (e.g. 1.2.3 or 1.2.3.4)
Then Android uses <ApplicationDisplayVersion></ApplicationDisplayVersion> to display application version "name" to the users (e.g. "1.2.3")
How to please automatically synchronize these two from standard <Version>?
For example, <ApplicationVersion> is required to be unique for every Android app Google Play store release.
Thank you

For the release of Android programs, the corresponding VersionCode attribute is ApplicationVersion. If you need to synchronize
ApplicationVersionandApplicationDisplayVersion, just makeApplicationDisplayVersionblank and its default value will be consistent withApplicationVersion.-
$(ApplicationVersion)maps toandroid:versionCodeorCFBundleVersion. This is required to be an integer on Android and less than 10000 on iOS. This value must be incremented for each Google Play or App Store / TestFlight submission. -
$(ApplicationDisplayVersion)maps toandroid:versionNameorCFBundleShortVersionString. This can default to$(ApplicationVersion)when blank.
You could refer to One .NET "Single Project" for more details.
