Does updating an Android app in a Google game require a change in both version and version code?

I am trying to update an application on Google PLAY. Do I need to update both?

android:versionName and android:versionCode

I updated without changing versionName, I ONLY changed the version of Code. Does he count on an update? Will the user see the available update? Thanks in advance!

Yes, the user will still receive the update.

versionCode is a decisive factor when Google Play releases updates. Your versionName may remain the same for your application, and Google Play will still release updates.

VersionCode needs to be changed. This is the value used by Android to determine your version. VersionName is displayed in the playstore and is used only for viewing by the update counter.

Users will see the update, but will not see the change in version number.
