Updating Apps Installed by Sideloadly

I was just wondering if there's any way to update apps installed through Sideloadly? The version of one of the games I've installed is one or two updates behind, which isn't a big deal for the time being but eventually as I get further I'll want to gain access to the new content, ideally without losing access to my save data. Is this possible for apps installed this way? Thanks :)

Hello!

You can update without reinstalling by using the same bundle ID when you first sideloaded!

We'll work on making this easier. :)

Thanks so much for the prompt response! Is this something I'll need to enter manually? Or since I never tampered with that setting the first time around will the correct bundle ID be automatically used? I.e. Will I just be able to update by sideloading the new version with default settings?

I don't think that would be the case right now, as Sideloadly will automatically set a new bundle ID if your iOS version is higher than 13.3.

Interesting, so is there any way to find the bundle ID of the initial install? Or without the foresight to set one manually will I just have to install the new version without my save files intact when the time comes? 

UPDATE: I've successfully found the bundle ID of the game from the app store, is this bundle ID likely identical to the one I downloaded through sideloadly? I'm not sure if the program/hacked ipa's set different ID's. If not and the ID I've found is correct then according to your advice I should be able to update eventually with no issue. If not please let me know if you're aware of any other methods to determine bundle ID.
