PROVISIONAL ANSWER:
Certainly the author of both Luke and Acts are one and the same. Certainly there are differences in some details in the two books. It is not certain that these logically constitute contradictions if taken in context. Thus the question itself is somewhat of a leading question which assumes something which is not at all proven. Differences do not necessarily constitute contradiction. Details of these alleged contradictions would need to be provided to answer the question more fully.

Who wrote the historical books in the Bible?
A:The first group of historical books in the Bible is called the Deuteronomic History, because the author was anonymous but appears to have been the same person as the author of the Book of Deuteronomy. They clearly form a unified set of books written by a common author who is believed to have lived during the seventh-century-BCE reign of King Josiah, although we do not know the author's identity. The books of the Deuteronomic History are the Books of Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings.The Books of 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles were written anonymously during or shortly after the Babylonian Exile. The Books of Nehemiah and Ezra probably had a common author, traditionally thought to be Ezra or Nehemiah.Although the Books of Esther and Daniel purport to contain historical material, they were actually novels written during the second century BCE and are not considered by scholars to be historical in their content.The Acts of the Apostles is traditionally considered to be a very reliable history of the early Christian Church, bu modern scholars have modified that view and now consider much of the content to be unhistorical. It is traditionally attributed to Luke, the companion of Paul, but as it was written anonymously this attribution is not necessarily true. Contradictions between Acts and Paul's epistles are suggested as evidence that the author could not have been Luke. Moreover, the introduction to Luke's Gospel, by the same author, suggests that the author could not really have known Paul. Thus, the author of Acts must remain uncertain.

Who says Luke wrote Acts?
Both Acts of the Apostles and Luke's Gospel were written anonymously, but there is no doubt that the author of Luke's Gospel was also the author of Acts. The question is only whether that author was in fact the apostle Luke.Later in the second century, when the early Church Fathers were seeking to establish who probably wrote each of the gospels, they noted from Luke 1:1-5 that the author was not an eyewitness to the life of Jesus. They also believed that the authorship of Acts meant that the author must have known Paul. Finally, the elegant, educated Greek used in these books pointed to Luke, the physician and companion of Paul as the most likely author if he was one of the apostles.Scholars now say that the author of Acts could not have known Paul or been his companion, because there are too many discrepancies between Acts and Paul's own account in his epistles; Acts is also commonly dated to the end of the first century or early in the second century, which is far too late for a companion of Paul. The author therefore remains anonymous.
