Why app updates download entire app instead of only "Updates"?
I find it rather strange that for updating an app in Android (or even iOS)
the entire app is downloaded instead of only the actual "Updates".
The reason I find this strange is because in Windows while updating an
app, only the update files are downloaded...not the entire app which is
more practical as it saves both time and data usage.
This would seem trivial to most but when you need to download a huge app
just for a tiny feature addition/bugfix it becomes a real PITA.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why this model was implemented?
