oh, i see. I’d second I’d say the fact the app gets installed on Android is a bug.

Btw, as https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/15971#issuecomment-946569910 , it would be great way to upgrade explicitly in the test scenario after creating a session. Nowadays, appium can establish a session without app and bundleid/appPackage, so I think it is easier to achieve than before.

I’d rather avoid using implicit Appium behaviours then and make the upgrade process more explicit. Check https://appiumpro.com/editions/9-testing-android-app-upgrades and https://appiumpro.com/editions/6-testing-ios-app-upgrades for more details
