app_update_helper 1.0.9

Simply check for updates, then based on the version (major, minor, patch) decide to update or not.

Getting Started

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

final update = await AppUpdateHelper.checkForUpdates();

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

// if you only care about major updates
if (update.isMajor) AppUpdateHelper.update();

// you can also use a switch on the update type
enum UpdateType { none, major, minor, patch }

// if patch and multiple of 3 (who am I to judge?)
if (update.isPatch && update.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.
