I have implemented recently launched In-App update API in my android app. When I build apk and test this functionality it works fine. ( I have uploaded apk with higher version with beta track). But when I build app bundle and upload the app bundle to internal internal app sharing , App update dialog is never prompted. (same source code only difference is in first case apk and in second case via app bundle).
App bundles are publishing format, whereas APK (Android application Package) is the packaging format which eventually will be installed on device. Google uses app bundle to generate and serve optimized APKs for each user's device configuration, so they download only the code and resources they need to run your app.
In-App updates are not yet supported with internal app sharing.
We are working on this, but do not yet have a timeframe for completion of this feature.
Update: Internal App sharing now supports testing In-app updates.
By visiting an Internal App Sharing link with a higher version code (but not installing it yet), an app that you already installed through Internal app sharing 'learns' of the new version, which allows you to test the in-app update flow.
