A Flutter plugin for installing and/or updating applications. Supports Android & iOS. Not all methods are supported on all platforms.

This is a fork of app_installer.

iOS

• Open AppStore app page
• Open AppStore app reviews

Android

• Open google play app page
• Install Apk File (Detect unknown source)

Getting Started

Open App Store

/// App Info
String androidAppId = 'com.felipheallef.tasks';
String iOSAppId = '324684580';

AppInstaller.goStore(androidAppId, iOSAppId);

Open Review

AppInstaller.goStore(androidAppId, iOSAppId, review: true);

Install Apk (Android-only)

• From device storage:

⚠️You need to allow read storage permission first, otherwise there will be a parsing error ⚠️

AppInstaller.installApk('/sdcard/apk/app-debug.apk');

• From assets:

final file = DefaultAssetBundle.of(context).load('assets/apk/app-debug.apk');
final bytes = file.buffer.asUint8List();
AppInstaller.installApkBytes(bytes);

• Without user action (Android 12 or higher):

If set, user action will not be required when all of the following conditions are met:

• The app being installed targets API 30 or higher and is running on Android 12 or higher:
• The app is the installer of record of an existing version of the app (in other words, this install session is an app update) or the installer is updating itself.
• The installer declares the UPDATE_PACKAGES_WITHOUT_USER_ACTION permission.

AppInstaller.installApk('/sdcard/apk/app-debug.apk', actionRequired: false);
