Android app auto update after permissions added then removed

Vote count:

0

I have updated an app on Google Play and the update requested new app permissions. This meant that auto update did not kick in and users had to manually update. Many of my users chose not to update, so I'm now considering removing the functionality requiring these permissions.

I want to know if I was to revert the permissions back to the previous version will people who skipped the latest version then auto update to the new version (because permissions won't have changed for them).

In theory I know they should auto update, but does anyone have experience of doing this?
