Research direction

Start by tracing the deployment path that reports “App already exists” and the handling of RocketChatAssociationRecord storage. Determine whether an update path or version check exists; done means an update workflow preserves associated data, with its behavior documented.

Description

:raising_hand_man: help wanted

I am developing an app which makes use of the RocketChatAssociationRecord for rooms.
When I try to deploy a new version, it fails with " › Error: ⟿ Error: Deployment error: App already exists.".
But if I uninstall the app first, it removes all associated storage.

How can I update an app without losing stored data?

Is there an "update" command, or a check for a new version number? Can't find either
