Hii, I am trying to publish my application using your library. I have followed all the steps mentioned in it. But I am facing issue while uploading build from my terminal, Please let me know where I am going wrong in the process. Before posting I tried my best to resolve this but nothing seems to be working for me so now I am here to seek your help.

Here are my Gradles looks like :

Please let me know how to upload

You probably need to bump your version code?

[siddharthkhindri]

Thank you Very Much for your quick response, I really appreciate it !!!

Second question why I am getting this error. Please guide me on what mistake I made for this, or I need to upload the initial build then only this library will work?

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':generateEditForComDotExampleDotDynamicviews'.
  > A failure occurred while executing com.github.triplet.gradle.play.tasks.GenerateEdit$Generator
  > 404 Not Found
  POST https://www.googleapis.com/androidpublisher/v3/applications/com.example.dynamicviews/edits

  "code" : 404,
  "errors" : [ {
  "domain" : "global",
  "message" : "Package not found: com.example.dynamicviews.",
  "reason" : "notFound"
  } ],
  "message" : "Package not found: com.example.dynamicviews.",
  "status" : "NOT_FOUND"
  }

[SUPERCILEX]

Yeah, if this is your first upload it has to be done in the Play Console.

[siddharthkhindri]

Means, We have to publish one APK manually then only we can use this library for automation?

[SUPERCILEX]

Yup.
