You may change the method used to decide the active application in your Account 
page.

"Version" chooses the latest version according to the versionCode in your 
manifest.
"MD5" chooses the newest uploaded file with the MD5 different from previous 
files.

If you always change version when uploading the new file, you may choose 
"Version" and the highest version will always be the active application.

However while in development, people tend to roll out apps with the same 
version, then "MD5" works better.

Please, note, the application version is decided by versionCode (which is just 
a number, easy to sort), not by versionName (which is a string of any value, 
can contain alfanumerics and is very difficult to sort properly: which is 
latest, 1.0.alfa.16 or 1.0.beta.1)
