Well this morning I tried both and both work fine for me in my Shield 
TV. Both say v 1.3. I have not tested the apk version, but it loads and 
start fine.

Every few days I do a git pull on the source version and it rebuilds 
okay and I have redeployed to my Shield but the version number has not 
changed.  There are always changes that the git pull shows.
