Can't submit extension due to version issues

[MagicJinn]

Hi there,
I’m trying to upload a new version of my browser extension (version 1.4.5), but the submission is being blocked due to a version number conflict. The issue is that I accidentally submitted a different extension under this listing with version 1.7.7. I reverted it immediately, but now I’m unable to upload the correct version (1.4.5) because it’s considered a downgrade.

I really don’t want to change my extension’s versioning just to get around this, since 1.4.5 is the actual next version in my release cycle. At the same time, I don’t want to stop updating the extension on the Mozilla Add-ons store. Is there a way to resolve this?

Unfortunately the only way to resolve it is to upload a new version with a version number greater than 1.7.7.

In order to avoid this kind of mistake in the future, you might want to add a browser_specific_settings.gecko.id declaration to your manifest. AMO will check this value at upload time and reject the submission if you accidentally upload a ZIP that uses a different extension ID.
