Expected behavior

I would expect to be able to update the plugins through the app.

Actual behavior

When I tapped the "Update" link, I saw the "Successfully updated [Plugin name]" notice at the bottom of the screen but the "Update" link still appears on the screen.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to My Site > Plugins > Manage
2. Select a plugin that needs to be updated
3. Tap the "Update" link
4. See that the "Successfully updated [Plugin name]" appears at the bottom of the screen but the "Update" link remains on the screen
5. Check WP Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins and notice the plugin still needs to be updated

Tested on OPPO Reno 4, Android 11, WPAndroid 17.5-rc-1

After investigation it seems that the https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.2/sites/siteId/plugins/pluginName/update/ endpoint doesn't work properly and doesn't update the plugin version.

I notice we don't currently have a tag for plugins - @planarvoid do you know of any projects this might fit in? I'm not sure how best to triage this one.

Also occurring in iOS. Further discussion for reference: p9dueE-340

The bug was on the backend and I think it's fixed already. It would be great if someone could confirm this 👍

@planarvoid I just tested this on WPiOS 17.6 and WPAndroid 17.7-rc-1, the same issue happened when I tried to update plugins through the apps.

As reported https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/pull/20470#pullrequestreview-1938053764 the issue still persist on the latest version (24.4) of the Android app
