The Perils Of Publishing A Bad Update (AKA Why Test?)

Mea Culpa - my apologies to the entire community that uses and relies on GSam Battery Monitor.   This bad update (version 2.23) should have never gone out the door!  The latest version on Google Play (version 2.24) fixes the force close issue. Yesterday (Sat Dec 1) I worked on a few updates and bug fixes to GSam Battery Monitor.  I got them all working and tested on my various test devices, and I was ready to publish. Publishing is a pain.  I have 6 different builds to run.  2 for Google Play (free & paid), 2 for Amazon Appstore, and 2 for the Nook Store.  I do each one manually - yes, I know...I should have automated this a long time ago).   Once built, I will test install one of the builds onto a phone - make sure it installs and do a very basic test (I've already done my full code tests before the formal build).  Then I have to go into each 'store' and upload them.  It's easy enough when there are no screenshot changes - but it still takes about 5 minutes
