Android: Crash on app versionCode greater than 1

I'm running Android Studio 3.3.2 creating a simple app for Android 9.0. The app runs correctly on the emulator, Nexus 5X API 27. My Samsung J7 test phone is API 27, too.

When I run on the phone with the versionCode 1 (the default in the gradle build at the module level) the app runs well on the phone. If I change the versionCode to 33, however, the app crashes on run (and keeps crashing). I un-install the app before loading a new version.

The versionCode and versionName of the apk on the phone are what they should be and the manifest looks good on the phone via "Apk Analyzer".

This happened to me too but the app stopped crashing after updating/increasing the versionName in build.gradle.
