Edit the app version in the app file

When I log into my Connect IQ account, go to the developer dashboard, select the app in question, I see that the app version is not correct. During the process of updating my IQ app, I accidentally stated the app version as 1.2.72 instead of 1.2.70. See the image below.

The version shows 1.2.72 and it should be 1.2.70. How can I correct my mistake?

You could always try reuploading the app with the correct version. Last time I checked, the store doesn't try to interpret/restrict the version number string except to limit the allowable characters.

Even if this works, it may not be the best course of action as it may cause user confusion.

If you're worried about a mismatch between the version number displayed in the store and the version number displayed in the app (e.g. in a settings menu or somewhere else in the UI), the best thing to do (IMO) is to release a whole new version, such as 1.2.73.

I wouldn't waste my and the user's time, bandwidth on this. Especially that you accidentally skipped 2 minor versions. If it was the other way around then maybe. Just edit the text in the changelog to match reality

Like I implied, it depends on whether OP has the string "1.2.70" somewhere in their app UI. I'm leaning towards assuming that's the case otherwise maybe they wouldn't care so much. But you're right, it could also be that OP just doesn't like the fact that they skipped 2 minor versions.

Thank you flocsy for your input. At this point I think I'm going to leave it as is.
