Yes it is possible to update native app with ionic app. You have to keep in mind following things to achieve this: -

  1. Package name of the apps should be exactly similar.
  2. Version code of ionic app (new app) should be greater than old native app.
  3. Keystore used for signing both the apps, should be similar.

IMO if you follow all the above points, you can update the application.
