If changing versionCode in the build.gradle file is not working. you can try removing the versionCode and versionName located under the default config, and add the versionCode and versionName in AndroidManifest.xml: Please check this thread.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0">

And also make sure the pipeline builds against the right branch to which the versionCode change is committed.
