After publishing version 1.0 of my application, and I with a new version of the same project (2.0) and want to update. How do I submit? Do I need the Keystore only? The new apk has to stay next to the previous key when selecting?

    Yes, you send the apk with the same key and name, just change the version to bigger in the manifest. I found official Google documentation that explains the process in detail, but it’s in English. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/113476?hl=en NOTE: I don’t know if it’s true or if it still happens because the source I read is kind of old (October 2013), but I believe that after releasing the update takes 24 hours to appear in the play store, so if the update doesn’t appear, wait about 36 hours (it’s up to you) to ensure ;)

    With me it has taken about 2 hours for the update to appear in the play store

    On the link you passed is written: android:versionCode - An integer value that represents the version of the application code, relative to other versions. 1 and 1.00 that besides the second not being considered an integer even if it accepted floats, would be the same thing. The right would be 1, 2, 3 and so on.

    Strokes, the versionCode has to be whole and Google uses as versioning (progressive), the versionName can be decimal and has no effect pro Google, just visual for users (you can have the same versionName for several versionCode different). And In addition, if using the Gradle, must strengthen these values in the build.gradle because he writes about!

you change in the demonstrations and put 

android:versionCode="n+1"
android:versionName="n.0.1"

and then generate the apk with the Keystore you used the first time. versionCode in manifestations must always be an integer larger than what you used in the past version so I put n+1 where n would be your previous version. Only then the playstore will recognize it as an update to your app. versionName is the number you want to appear to the user can be any number.
