I hate that. The same thing happens on mobile builds, so heads up to 
anyone who's doing that. I wasted a whole evening early on, reloading 
multiple iOS standalones over and over trying to fix a bug. The iPad 
would go through the whole installation routine and run its little 
progress bar exactly like it was replacing the original, but it didn't 
actually DO anything. I finally realized that if you don't change the 
version number you get the whole cosmetic "installing" business but the 
file on disk is never replaced.

Android is almost the same, only it gives you a dialog warning that the 
new app will replace the old one. If you don't see the dialog then at 
least you know nothing is going to change. It will still happily act as 
if it's installing something anyway though.

It's probably a test to see how smart we are.
