There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do you think there's any risk this doesn't work? The code looks sensible, but unfortunately it's an epic pain to test this flow (creating a dedicated build, sending that to the play store on a special internal channel, installing it, publishing an update, etc, etc) so I'm kinda scared to touch it.

What if we first merge a debug line that just logs what it's installed through, then a release or two later we merge this? |

Opened #210 for that. This PR now builds on that, so it's marked as draft until that's merged, feel free to undraft later. |
Resolve the installer at init and only build the Play requestUpdateFlow() pipeline when it is com.android.vending. Sideloaded/adb/other-store/debug installs short-circuit to NoUpdateAvailable, avoiding the Play update API call and its notification on builds that can't be updated through Play. The installer is logged as debug in both branches.

Nicety for #184. It's harmless but no point in checking and no point in resulting scary logs if it isn't installed through gplay.
