Not exactly. What I read is that you can not install one way and update
the other. And developers can choose to block different install methods.

It is in Spanish, so you need a translator tool.
*The new thing about Android is a hard blow to APKs: either you install
the app from the Google Play Store or you don't use it*
Play Integrity will allow the developer to verify whether or not
the app has been installed from the Google Play Store
The system allows you to block the use of the app until it has been
updated from the official Android store
One of the things that has characterized, and characterizes, Android has
been the possibility of installing applications from third-party sources
. Simply install the APK file to have an application like WhatsApp
working normally. But like everything in this life, there are sources
and sources. Some are legitimate, others are not so much. An APK of
uncertain origins can work against both the user and the developer, so
Google Play has launched a function to put a stop to it.
The problem . There are several reasons why a user may prefer to install
an app via APK instead of through the Google Play Store. There are as
many reasons as there are reasons a developer can have for not doing so.
Let's think, for example, that an installation made via APK does not
count for the metrics in Google Play. Perhaps the user is installing an
outdated version, not optimized for their device or, why not, a modified
version to offer functions that, in another context, would be paid for.
This can harm both parties involved, user and developer.
