Google Play Store showing Open button instead of Update button

Question

I updated my app to the Google Play Store last night. Before the update, my App version was 2.3. There was some problem in version 2.4 so after another 2-3 hour, I updated the app again.
The current version on the play store is 2.5.

My Problem is: If the old version is installed on the device and open play store Google Play Store showing open button instead of Update button. I want update button. What is the problem? Any solution?

In order to show an update in Google Play, your app either should have been installed through Google Play or it should be a system application.

If you have installed your application through adb or installed from other sources, Google play will show "Open" instead of "Update".
