I have an app which is not on play store, so i download my app from third party custom page. Now i update that app and post it on custom page. also i gave a button on my app to download updated app. when i click on update button in app it opens a browser and download latest apk which is right, but i want to achieve that it should not open browser and download apk just like we update app on play store. I google it a lot but can not find any possible way. thanks in advance.

window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('download-button').click();
};

I have already published my app on the playstore with keytore as .apk I am used to. But because of google notice that publishing App as APK will be obsolete in few months to come.
So, in a new upgrade of my app, I wish to upload it as app bundle. So while generating signed App bundle, with my app's keytore, I discovered that it generated the app bundle as (app-release.aab) and exported another key as private_key.pepk So when i revisited playstore console to upload the signed app bundle, I didn't see where to upload private_key.pepk.
So, I became worried. Not knowing what to do. I don't want to make a costly mistake. That is why I'm here for you to give me step by step method on how to continue from where I stopped.
Thanks for helping me..
EDIT:
I clicked create new release and then I clicked on opt in but didn't know which option to choose and proceed
Opt in to Play App Signing
Export and upload a key from Android Studio
Export and upload a key from Java keystore
Export and upload a key (not using Java Keystore)
Created a basic HTML, CSS, Javascript app using phonegap desktop developer app, phonegap mobile developer app, uploaded this to github public repo.
After creating a phonegap-build account , I created the android apk build using phonegap-build referring the source from github public repo url.
Installation of apk file in android device went fine, but when I try to open the app, it is stuck at this error "Initializing…. Please wait". This is stuck at this stage for long time and can't get past it.
Found that , I had enabled 'hydration' while creating the apk using phonegap-build.
After disabling the hydration, and doing a rebuild and re-generated the apk, installed it on the device, now it is good.
I create an app on Phonegap, as I always did.
I scan the QR code from my iPhone.
It tells me that it cannot open the page.
It used to work up to a month ago.
I also tried to open the page from the iPhone Safari browser, and then click on the "Install" button. I get the same error.
But, when I download the ipa to a folder on my PC, and then upload it to "https://www.diawi.com/" I can install it on my iPhone.
But I need to copy the link to the Safari.
Currently i use TestFariy for beta app distribution, which works some of the time.
Reading its apparently possible to build own .ipa file place it on a web server and using safari to download it onto devices.
I have been having a play but don't seem to be able to get it working.
We have a standard developer license.
I archived app and included the manifest file.
I placed both files onto the webserver along with a html file that basically provides an event to download the file
Install App
Now in safari on devices when i hit the button on the link i get the popup asking if i like to install, i select yes and i then just get a new icon with 'Waiting' and it hangs here, no error messages just stays on 'Waiting'.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
I'm making a website that offers apk file. Is it possible to install the apk directly to phone from my website when clicking the install button without market like google play?

You can Install any android application in your phone, it can be from any e-mail,website or any other medium it doesn't matter.
To Install the outside app you must change the settings first.
Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the Settings button.
Tap the Security button beneath the Personal subheading.
Scroll down to the Device Administration subheading, tap Unknown Sources, and OK in the following warning pop-up.
Sorry I cant tell you about PHP
