Getting started #

Simply call the checkForUpdates function to check for updates and handle them accordingly.

Then you can use the update function to update the app. (Or ideally let your user choose)

final info = await AppUpdateHelper.checkForUpdates();
if (info == null) return; // No update available

// let's say you want to update only if major/minor
switch (info.updateType) {
  case UpdateType.major:
  case UpdateType.minor:
    AppUpdateHelper.update();
    break;
  case UpdateType.patch:
    debugPrint("Patch Update Available: ${info.newVersion}");
}

// or if you only care about major updates
if (info.isMajorUpdate) AppUpdateHelper.update();

// or maybe if patch and multiple of 3 (who am I to judge?)
if (info.isPatchUpdate && info.newVersion.patch % 3 == 0) AppUpdateHelper.update();

For ios you must provide the iosAppId when calling the update function:

AppUpdateHelper.update(iosAppId: "YOUR_IOS_APP_ID");

you can find your iOS app id in the App Store URL of your app, for example: https://apps.apple.com/app/idYOUR_IOS_APP_ID.
