Issue
My app is being tested using Google Play. I am one of my alpha testers, naturally. I released a new alpha version of the app. I was expecting it to update automatically on my device. But it's not updating. Am I missing a step? According to href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/3131213?hl=en">Google
Once they install the app and opt in, they'll automatically be updated to the new test version.
Solution
Nothing with Google Play is automatic. They have a caching system much like Apple App Store among others. From my experience, once or twice a day the cache system gets flushed and the market gets updated.
At some point after that, the updates get pushed. This can be a multi-day process unfortunately.
