Mark, The most recent version of the AndAppStore client will notify the user of any available updates and when they select the notification about the update they're taken to the download page where they can download the update.
There is also, of course, in-app update solutions (such as veecheck) which mean that users get told about updates by an app directly instead of having to use the method of any particular app store. As for installs, well, the APK install intent seems to be restricted to system signed apps only, so we're limited to using the View intent on the APK and handing everything over to Androids UI. Al.
