Immediate In-App Update on Android 10 and above closes the app after install/restart

Question

Have implemented Immediate In-App Update Workflow in my android app but have been observing this weird behaviour where after downloading/installing the app update, the api does not restart the app UI (have confirmed that the app is activated in the background) only on Android 10 and above. For Android 9 and below, the app is restarted and app UI is activated again all fine.

Is this the expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong?

Using the following version for the play core library: implementation "com.google.android.play:core:1.9.0"

and followed the official documentation for IMMEDIATE in-App update here - https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-updates

I faced this issue and after 2 days I added

android:launchMode="singleTask"

to the launcher Activity And I used

ProcessPhoenix.triggerRebirth(this)

From ProcessPhoenix library in OnActivityResult And then the app restarted after updating.
