Ionic/Cordova does not update versionCode for Android

When I change the version in my config.xml, the internal Android versionCode ist not updated to the new value. Android Console is always showing an error because "I already have an App with that versionCode on the Play Store".

I've also tried the following things in config.xml

<widget ... version="1.1.4" versionCode="10104" android-versionCode="10104" ...>
<platform name="android">
  <preference name="android-manifest/@android:versionCode" value="114" />
</platform>

Doesn't work. The versionCode stays the same.

UDPATE: I deleted the Android platform and re-added it, now it works!

I find that when you run run android ionic or ionic build android generates the version of the code in the same as the version, is not a good practice to change this code, but if you want to change: you must change only the proyect/platform/android/AndroidManifest.xml,

I let you link that may interest you. Here!

Changing VersionCode manually is not a good idea , You should only change version in config.xml,after that run 

ionic build --release android

It will automatically update your AndroidManifest.xml.Make sure if version code is updated before publishing your app to play store.

Thanks
