App not installed while upgrading using signed apk

Question

I have an older version of my signed app and i am trying to upgrade it with a newer version but getting error app not installed. I don't want to reinstall the app as lot of users are using the older version on live. I have investigated it and found the only difference is the Gradle file.

Older Version build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

Newer version build.gradle

 // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        jcenter()
        google()
    }

All other app builds where gradle file is same are getting upgraded but not this one. Is my findings correct? Is there could be any other reason? Please suggest possible solution. FYI- Version code of newer build is more than older build.

Show us app level build.gradle file. This one is project level build.gradle file. — Prashant Sable, Nov 15 '19 at 12:51
