I am a developer trying to use the alpha testing functionality on the 
Developer Console.


I have added my work email to a Google Group which I then added to the 
alpha testing list for the app.  I invited myself, approved everything, 
etc.  I visited the Google Play store on my device and downloaded the alpha 
version.  This confirms everything is working since the alpha version is 
higher than the most recently published version.


I have since then pushed several new versions to alpha testing.  When I 
visit the Google Play store on my Android device, the Google Play store 
correctly tells me the current version of the app is the newest alpha 
testing version.


However, my Android device currently has a version of the app several 
versions prior to the most current version (it is still at the original 
alpha testing version I downloaded), and will not download the most current 
version.  The Google Play store only provides me with options to uninstall 
and open.  Again, the Google Play store correctly shows the current version 
of the app to be the newest alpha version, which is several versions higher 
than the version on my device.


The same issue is happening to a couple of other users I've added to alpha 
testing.


I have done the following:


- Made sure Download Manager was turned on

- Made sure I had enough storage

- Tried restarting the device

- Cleared the Google Play Store app's cache & data

- Checked for system updates

- Confirmed that the versionCode has been incremented

- Confirmed the app supports my device and version of Android


I could probably uninstall the app and reinstall the app to get the newer 
version, but this is not useful for myself or my other testers.  My app has 
been used several years by some people.  It synchronizes data with our 
website, and, for these users, they would have quite a bit of data to 
download again.

Thanks for your help.
