Based on the recent problems with the Installer add-on, I don't think Android currently allows this so it would be impossible to achieve.
APK's can be downloaded, but not installed from within Kodi. That would need to be done manually, which rather defeats the object in this case.

It's what I was told and what was stated in the add-on thread (for the updater), although I haven't used 17.6 in a while to be able to verify.
Presumably it's API usage or something like that, although I'm not the man to ask for details of why stuff is done one way in 17.x and another in 18.x .
