I've made sure -

• My signing keys are the same as uploaded in play store, as I can sign in facebook and other auths methods + I've verified myself.
• The Google play google shows in My apps and games tab, with an UPDATE button showing up.
• Application ID is the same
• I've downloaded from the Play Google numberous times.
• I've tried in the Internal Test track and a closed beta release

EDIT: Also I've tried to run the app from adb install, or trying to install from google play and after that deploying aab on the play google.

the following link take you through how to check for AppUpdateInfo developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/… Please provide the complete code on appUpdateInfoTask.addOnSuccessListener(..........) so that I will be able to further triage off of that – Everyday

@tyczj Thanks for the suggestion, that worked, form it as an answer I'll make it corrct! – Exhibit

adding onto @RiyasaMansil comment - a failureListener will help triage. appUpdateInfoTask.addOnFailureListener {} or appUpdateInfoTask.addOnCompleteListener {} – Participial

Answer 2

The accepted answer didn't help, but going into the current apps update screen in Google Play worked.

I assume update checks are done infrequently but you are perhaps able to "force" a real check this way (or update the cached Play response)
