Were you previously able to update apps you didn’t install from google play through google play lol?

I'm pretty sure not.

Was at least the case for the two apps I have installed that are also listed in the playstore. Didn't stop google from trying (and then failing, as some certificates didn't match).

Recognizing that beforehand is actually an improved behaviour.
