This is my first Android phone so I am not sure what the update policy is on Android apps from the store.
I have a few apps that I have purchased from the App store, the store shows that there is a newer version than what I have installed but it is not giving me the option to update. For example, Gravity Screen. The changelog indicates 1.74 is the newest. I currently have 1.73.

google offers developers something called staged rollout, so the devs can roll out the updates in the first row only to a few number of users
you'll get your updates usually within 1 week delay (max)

In a previous thread I posted a question about Voice Search which was eventually resolved once I updated to the latest version. Going thru the apps on my Phone I found the following stock to be older than what is available on the market:
1) Google Maps
2) Facebook
3) Voice Search.
and
AT&T Code Scanner (But the update fails with a message about invalid package sign).
I have auto sync on and background data as well but the update was never shown as available and had to got thru most stock apps and verify I have the latest; have you guys seen something like this? If you haven't, check and update the above apps.
Having same issue
I haven't seen a single app update for last 7~8 days.
I used to have a rooted Evo and it was typical to have 1~2 apps that had updates on a daily basis.
Does AT&T have power to restrict updates?

I got an update to Floating Image today. I think it's just that the popular apps in the Android Market are becoming more mature and stable and don't need as many updates as they used to.
Found the same apps had updates available from Market on my Inspire within the first few days after upgrading (picked up on Feb 13th at local AT&T Store). I figured it was the situation of these apps being installed in the factory, then boxed and shipped to stores before updates were available.
I have two Asus TF300T tablets (a US and a WW one). Both are updated to latest stock rom, both are completely stock.
Since updating to 4.2.1, I no longer get delta updates from the Google Play Store on both devices (it worked fine in 4.1).
Is anyone on 4.2.1 getting delta updates from the Play Store?

Thanks for the reply. At least now I know it's not just me
I should mention that yesterday I did a single update (i don't quite recall what the app was) and that DID do a delta update - it only downloaded about 30% before installing. But today I'm back to full updates (updated Evernote and some other apps). So it seems that the "problem" is on the server side (in combination with the 4.2.1 stock rom).
What's a delta update? AFAIK the play store always does a full app install.......

It's a new feature that was introduced in Jellybean 4.1 across all devices and relates only to UPDATES. Initial install is always full (obviously), but updates only download the data that has changed from the current installed version (i.e. the "delta" of it).
This feature has save me a TON of data use - especially on game updates. It is also especially useful for apps from "those" developers who seem to think that every single fix requires a update and do so on a daily basis, it adds up when you have 200+ apps installed.
This feature WAS working on my TF300T before the 4.2 update, and it is currently still working on my SGS3 running 4.1. I am not sure if this issue is related to 4.2 in general or to the TF300T's 4.2 rom only.
When it is working, a strange bug is that the store does not show the size of the delta update, it always shows the full size of the update - but it will only download up to some percentage (i.e. the delta amount) and then start installing. And the weird part is that the progress bar in the notification area shows the progress of the delta part only.
It used to work for me for ALL updates - i.e. the developer does not have to "support" it, it is done on the server side.
However, I read somewhere that this does not always work on custom roms.
Certain apps of mine don't seem to be updating to the latest version or showing the update button in Google Play.
For example if an app received an update from the devs today and I want to update it, it doesn't allow me to.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!

maybe that version of the app isn't compatible with your android version?
So I recently disabled my YouTube app on my Nexus 6P running Android N Developer Preview in order to troubleshoot something, and in doing so it notified me that the app would be reset to factory version and all updates would be uninstalled. No problem, I thought. I've done this a dozen times before. As soon as I re-enable it, I'll get an update through the Play Store to bring it back to the latest version within a few hours afterward.
Or so I thought.
I re-enabled my YouTube app two days ago, and it's still running on the very old version 11.16.7. On the Play Store the app is sitting at version 11.19.56.
Any ideas as to why this would happen, and is there any way to force the app to update?
Sammobile has the latest "U" firmware for the T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge ending in "QC1". Supposedly it's still marshmallow but it's the latest one for the "U" firmware. I wanted to put this here since I saw a thread for APL4 but not this new version.
Link: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/TMB/download/G935UUES4AQC1/126499/
Update: Root is reported to not work with this latest update so staying on APL4 if your rooted or want to root is a smart choice.
This update contains the March 1st, 2017 Security Patch.
Also, Here are links to the latest Google play services and Google Play Store as of 4/23/17.
Google Play Services version 10.5.53(Beta): http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-10-5-53-release/ Note: This one is 440 which is the one for the Galaxy S7 Edge.
Google Play Store v7.7.31.O-all [0] [PR]: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...31-o-all-0-pr-153394623-android-apk-download/
How to install both Play services and Play store: 1. tap to enable unknown sources in Settings -> Lock screen and Security -> Unknown Sources, 2. Download both Google play services and Google Play store from the links above, 3. Install Play services FIRST then after the Google Play store. 4. Notice your being unenrolled from app betas? This is a current bug in the Play Store and to fix it go to Settings -> Applications -> Application manager and once there find the Google play store, tap it, and clear both data and cache and after reopen the Play Store and re accept the terms and conditions and BAM! Bug is fixed.
Note: Google is rolling out a new UI(Look) to the App update page, at this time it's only being rolled out to certain people so some may get it and some may not but eventually it will roll out to everyone.
I'm waiting for the nougat update but thanks for the aportation
Good God. They're never going to realease Nougat for the U
FYI, seems like the root hack is NOT working for this latest firmware anymore. So if you fancy root, might want to stick with
G935UUEU4APL4
New update to the OP(Original Post) take a look to get some good info!
