[android-developers] Re: Multiple concurrent versions of same app, filtered by minSdkVersion?

Richard,

Thanks for the link to the article -- I hadn't seen that one. However,
it doesn't address my core need, which is to have the existing version
stay small, and the the new version have all resources packed inside
it.

Does anyone know how it actually works to publish an update with a
higher minSdkVersion?
