[Q] Update downloaded .apk through the Play Store - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have downloaded some games from the PS on my pc (Because i got a pack of games and install them on my phone faster this way) the only problem is that i cannot update them from the store (although they appear as installed) because i installed them from the apk file and not from the Play Store directly.
Is there any way to convert those installed apps like i installed from the Play Store or something? free?
I really would like to know how to do that because many games have been updated and i don't want to spend time re-downloading them and do all this process.
Thanks

You can't update sideloaded apps through the Play Store. No way to do it. You'll have to download the updated apks each time.

Unless u downloaded a paid app as apk, u should be able to update from play store.! (yah I was able to)
life!

[Q] Auto Update Off Market Apps?

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to update an app that was not installed from the market through the market.
I've downloaded free apps from the market, unzipped them and swapped out some image files, signed and reinstalled, but these apps no longer show up in the play store--when I try, it says that the app was not signed correctly.
I've tried searching but the only thread I found was from 2010 and was essentially a thread about some person stealing a paid apk and trying to get it to update :|
Anyways thanks
Seems impossible
As the signature is different, so I think it is impossible.
Titanium Backup has an option to "Attach to market(forced)" might give that a try or fix permissions.
I had similar problems with games that I bought through the Android edition of the Humble Indie Bundle. Cannot update via Play Store.

[Q] To which directory does Android download apps from the Play Store?

So, I was downloading Legendary Heroes from the store. I tried to play another game while the download was happening in the background. That made the phone restart by itself. The download had stopped. So in case the files of the game that were already downloaded are still there filling up the memory, how would I remove them. In which folder does Android temporarily store the game files while it is being downloaded?

[Question] How to avoid updating a game?

Hi,I need some help,I installed 'Blitz Brigade' from Google Play,but it's stuck on the loading screen, so I downloaded a older version of the game (The game is free) and it works, but now it asks me to update the game, I tested it with installing the update apk with the outdated obb file but it isn't working.. it clearly is the updated apk file fault.
is there any way to avoid updating?

If the game depends on online servers then you cant unless you find and download a MOD version of the game with offline options . google your game and put Offline MOD .
Seems to be no good solutions for online games, might be some bug fix in future releases

how to make google play store install the app instead of downlaoding it !!

hey guys....
i wanna help about this :
i wanna put an app (any app ) in a directory that it would make google play store (when i press on download button) install the app from the directory ..not downloading it from the internet !!
how can i do this please !!
Doesn't work like that. Play store installs play store apps.
If you have the apk file already just use a file explorer to find it and install it . I recommend paying for the esexplorer pro free has infected adware
You may need to going to setting / security and allow install unknown sources

Honor 7 play - how to install google play

I have honor 7 play dua-al00. I want to install google play. After doing all the procedure google play fails
I have the same problems. Up till now I still cannot find a resolution. Can anyone here please advise? I downloaded and installed the latest suitable Google Service and Google Play Store. I ran the Google Play APP and it just crashed and closed. Urgent. Thank you.
Did u find a solution i have same peoblem
i have the same problem but i think its worth adding that i'm on android 8.1
and the issue isnt that google play doesnt install its thats once installed it wont download (and therefore not install) other apps.
i think the issue is that the system doesnt come up with the authorisation box to let playstore install apps (so doesnt recognise it as a store?).
if you install amazon store and try installing something from there, it asks if you want to let amazon store install apps, you click yes and it works. for some reason it doesnt do that with playstore. you either get stuck on app downloading but doesnt download or playstore shuts down.
play services, are updated manually from apkmirror otherwise you constantly get that gmail wont run without updating services first for example. update it manually and it works for a while.
sorry, probably also worth adding i'm on (and assume we all are who have this issue) on the chinese rom (messed up at purchase!) and an alternate fix would be if we could install a non chinese rom or a custom but doesnt look like these are available?
we still need a solution to this....
