    when you update. Your bundle ID -com.yourgamescompanyname.yourgamename MUST remain the same, as must the keystore you use.
    You then set the Game Version to 1.1 (for example, as you are updating from Version 1.0) and Version Code to 2. When you update again, you follow the same process, 1.2 and Version Code 3

    take a screenshot of the error message. or type it exactly as it reads. 'Info' could be anything.

    Theres a video of how to use Android Studio for exporting

    Is Game Version equal to Version name in the Android Manifest?

    Correct, signing certificate you use should be the same as before. Read this document through carefully, especially these sections:
