Essential Assets install vs. update

Hi, I'm implementing a BADownloaderExtension in my app for essential assets. I would like to treat the install case differently than the update case, however it seems whether I "install" or "update" the app (via TestFlight) I always end up getting a BAContentRequest of type .install. I can simulate an update via xcrun, but cannot seem to get into that case in the wild. Is this expected?
