Update UWP app in Iot Core version 15063 via USB

I've created an UWP app in VS2017, that runs in upboard where I've installed Windows Iot Core. The app's target version is 1803 and min version is Creator Update (Build 15063). I would like to update the app by clicking button and reading the new appxbundle via USB.

I tried to follow this article but the solution doesn't work.

Note: if I create app packages is not possible to checked the "Enable automatic updates".

Is it possible that this is the cause of my problem?

EDIT

The update process begins, but nothing happens

    To solve this error you need increase the package version:

    The operation will fail if you want to update the app which deployed from Visual Studio. It can only update the app installed with packaged appxbundle. For example, you can install it via device portal, here is a document you can reference.
