Not manifest, their signature must match. Usually F-Droid apps have their own signature but they also support providing your own signature precisely for compatibility with other stores.
Comment on Why does Play Store prompt me to update Bitwarden?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that sideloaded apps do get updated by the play store. (As long as they internal app manifest matches, I presume?)

This reminds me of something else that tripped me out. I started using Aurora to update apps, and I was so confused about why there were so many unexpected updates. Apparently, Google doesn’t roll out updates all at the same time. Now I know why people in my discord complain about updates that I don’t see until days later.
Maybe if the updates happen to align, they will appear in multiple places? I’m not sure, but I really wish Play couldn’t “see” all the apps I’ve installed on my device. Creepy-ass behavior.

The slow rollouts are so annoying too, I often saw apps say I need to update without there even being an update for me.
