For Android power users that like to put apps into Deep Sleep, there is a side effect: apps won’t get updates from Google Play. Most of these apps are infrequently used. When they do get opened, the app developers may have pushed a change that forces updates. Personally, I have noticed this most with restaurant apps.

The fix is to download the Runner app (https://github.com/moneytoo/Runner). As the README describes, it opens all the apps on the phone, letting Google Play look for an update.

The gotcha is that once the screen turns off, the apps will no longer be updated. So you either need to keep touching your screen or increase the screen timeout to 10 minutes.
