What happens when you update an android app?

What happens when a developer updates an app? Does the user that updates the said app download a whole new app or is the app store smart enough to just download the changes?

Yes, Google play is smart enough to update just changes called delta update.look at the example video and docs over here which updates patch file instead of whole application.
