I'm going to update my apk on GooglePlay Store and I know that i have to upgrade the version code and name in manifest file however, it made install_failed.

Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE

Please check logcat output for more details. Launch canceled!

I modified the version code and name like this: android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.0.5"

Did i make it wrong?

Just uninstall the application on your device first and then install the fresh one.
