multiple duplicate Apps (with same UUID install on update)

For some reason, the datafield I've been uploading to the store for testing keeps getting unique duplication when pressing update on GCM (IOS)

When I plug the watch to the PC, i can see the same app being installed over and over again.

eg:

ABC123 - version 1
ABC234 - version 2
ABC345 - version 3

but these are all the same apps which i tried to "update". By Right, they should cancel out each other and only end up with 1 single app. But it's not the case. When this happens, all user settings are not usable and the watch also have trouble figuring out which app to use. (eg: I update something on the screen, but this new update, even when it's the latest version, it doesn't reflect on the watch. Watch is still using version 1 or something like that)

Anyone else experiencing this?

1. Is this a single app on the app store?
2. Are you updating the app on the app store, or removing it and creating a new app listing?
3. Does this same issue occur when updating via Garmin Express?

1) yes. My beta program (datafield) program which I am testing. Happened over 2 weeks already. Initially tot it was just anyone time fluke but it persisted

2) an existing app. Uploaded a new version for testing. Then proceedsd to 'update' the app using GCM on the phone. Ended up with multiple copies of the same app.

3) did not try.

This is how it's looking like.

All of these are the same app which I'm uploading to the store to test out the work and to determine if it works fine.

This is the app which I'm using as the placeholder for any BETA apps I am working on.

I'm still facing this issue with an app update.
Once updated, the watch has to be rebooted for the new version to take into effect.

This is Fenix3 on 6.80 FW

Just wanted to say I have had the same behavior/issue on my F3

Good that it's not just me.
The 6.9 FW fot the F3 just pushed through. will test if behaviour is still there.

Just updated Generic Recorder https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/b14a4e1b-baf3-4371-98ca-23afd94009c4 and had to reboot for the new version to take into effect. (otherwise, even after update the app still shows version 1.3.2 whereas version 1.3.4 is the latest)
