Current Behavior

I am using Quasar Framework. When I build and sign the app for Google Play, then upload it to the Google Play console, it reports that the version that I set in my package.json file gets changed to version 1.0.

If I use Cordova instead, the package uploads successfully and maintains the assigned version number in package.json.

So I'm pretty sure this issue is specific to Capacitor.

Expected Behavior

The .apk file should upload successfully with the assigned version from package.json getting picked up correctly.

Code Reproduction

Here is my package.json file:

{
  "name": "loa-today",
  "version": "1.1.80",
  "description": "A podcast player and goodies package for our loyal listeners.",
  "author": "[obscured]",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@capacitor/android": "2.4.4",
    "@capacitor/cli": "^2.0.0",
    "@capacitor/core": "^2.0.0"
  }
}

I'm running the following command to build the package:

quasar build -m capacitor -T android

and then I'm signing the final .apk file before uploading it to Google Play.

Capacitor doesn't use the package.json version for setting the native version. The native version can be configured by changing versionName field in the app's build.gradle file.
