Differences between Google Play Installed Apps "UPDATES" list vs "MANUAL UPDATES" list?

Question

When I launch Google Play on the phone and I enter the "My Apps" section, I can see all my installed apps spread into three lists:

• Updates
• Manual Updates
• Up To Date

I published my app to Google Play and whenever I launch a new version, my app appears in the Manual Updates list. I want my app to appear in the Updates list and not Manual Updates.

How can I achieve that? What is the difference between Updates and Manual Updates on that list?

Answer 1

Your app will appear in the Updates list unless you change the permissions that you're requesting. If you add, say, the CAMERA permission at some point, then your app will appear in the Manual Updates list until your user accepts the new permission.
