Update App system

MIT App Inventor Help
1

Hi everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to have an "update system" in my App without a dowload(qr code or apk) again.
For example, I have my App 1.1, it is the first version that i have on my phone, i downloaded it with qr code.
And then on App Inventor i worked about the same App but version 1.2, I add new option in this version and i would like to replace my 1.1 to version 1.2 without a download from App Inventor but directly an update from my app. Is it possible ?

(French sorry if my english is bad and for any spelling mistakes)

it is possible, but only if data is changing... precondition is, you are using an online database...
in case you like to change the logic or add new features, then you have to download a new version of the apk file

Have you a youtube link, which learn about this.
I search videos about this, but i donā€™t find any which talk about an updating system.

Thanks for your help

Choose an online database, then search for tutorials about that databaseā€¦

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventorā€™s Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ā€¦ the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book ā€˜teachesā€™ users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling .
