    I am afraid this commit was useless (if not harmful), as [the documentation](https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning.html#appversioning) states:
    > Warning: The greatest value Google Play allows for versionCode is 2100000000.

> If you use the DNS Soa Serial number format format (ie. YYYYmmddss) as your Android versionCode it will be too big for an integer value, as the platforms/android/build.gradle script suffixes it with a "0".
> For example, today's versionCode could be 2015080601.
> The build script will suffix it with a "0", and cast it as an integer. So it becomes 20,150,806,010 but its too high for and integer, whose max value is 2,147,483,647.
> Then the build script fails.
> Worst part : it used to work, so I can't upgrade my apps on Google Play !
