Error while attempting to update a Custom Android Application published via Application Policy

We are trying to move away from Clasic Enrolment (where we have to side-load all the application via Profile / Package) to a more robust deployment (via Enterprise Google Play Store). 

I've managed to create the binding between the MDM and Google Play Store and get any application available in Google Play Store to get installed on the Work Profile (we are using COPE- Corporate - Personal Enrolment method). I was also able to upload a custom Android application via the same method. The issue surfaced when I've try to upgrade the custom application to a new version. When attempt to edit the custom application and load the new apk, I am getting Cannot update a published APK.

Why do you think using Enterprise Google Play Store is more robust compared to your original deployment method?

This is exactly what I was trying to do, and that works fine with the official Android application. This time I wanted to do the same with our own custom Android App. It worked fine when we first deployed it, but when i tried to upgrade it - i got that "Cannot update a published APK.

I searched around, and apperently I need to go to Google Play Console (developer portal) and upload the new release from there. I'll do some digging and update this thread later on.
