Description

If you use the DNS Soa Serial number format format (ie. YYYYmmddss) as your Android versionCode it will be too big for an integer value, as the platforms/android/build.gradle script suffixes it with a "0".

For example, today's versionCode could be 2015080601.

The build script will suffix it with a "0", and cast it as an integer. So it becomes 20,150,806,010 but its too high for and integer, whose max value is 2,147,483,647.

Then the build script fails.

Worst part : it used to work, so I can't upgrade my apps on Google Play !
