App not updating for alpha testers on google play

Question

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 m

Answer 1

In addition to the time it takes for app updates to fully process, the Google Play app itself also caches app information, so your users (and you) may be seeing a cached version of your Google Play list.

Here's a trick to force Google Play to fetch the latest version of your app. This works every time for me.

How to reset the Google Play app's cache:

1. Force close the Google Play app
2. Open the Settings app
3. Go to Applications > Application Manager > Google Play Store > Storage
4. Click Clear Cache

The Google Play app's cache should now be reset. Try finding your app again and see if it shows the latest version.
