I use LDPlayer, from my experience I downloaded playstore version. Logged in with my Google account and did a quick mission to force a save. I then closed the game, dragged and dropped the updated modded apk over to ldplayer. It installed over the playstore version. Now I'm able to just start the game and I'm already logged in and get to enjoy the mod that this awesome person has provided for us. Granted I am running a module that hides things but of your on ldplayer or whatnot I'm assuming your already doing all that.
