I am looking for the right update command to update table tmp.x so, that in column tmp.x.t these two dates ('08.12.2017','03.12.2017') from tmp.y.p where added to the text[] array. And this only when tmp.x.n = tmp.y.n and tmp.x.v = tmp.y.v.

http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/53eb3/1 [^]

What I have tried:

SQL

update 
	tmp.x
set 
	t = array_append(tmp.x.t,tmp.y.p)
from 
	tmp.y
where 
	tmp.x.n = tmp.y.n
and
	tmp.x.v = tmp.y.v;

The problem might be that sqlfiddle does not support this functionality.
Schema's do not seem to be supported, but you can try like this:

create table tmpx (n text, v text, t text[]);
create table tmpy (n text, v text, p text);
delete from tmpx;
delete from tmpy;
insert into tmpx values ('android.apps', '3.1.4', null);
insert into tmpy values ('android.apps', '3.1.4', '08.12.2017');
insert into tmpy values ('android.apps', '3.1.4', '03.12.2017');

UPDATE tmpx set t = sub.t 
FROM (select array_agg(p) as t 
      from tmpy,tmpx where tmpx.n = tmpy.n and tmpx.v = tmpy.v) AS sub;

select * from tmpx;

Also you need to select PostgreSQL 9.6 instead of 9.3
