Documentation

The following methods are exposed:

• Future<AppUpdateInfo> checkForUpdate(): Checks if there's an update available
• Future<void> performImmediateUpdate(): Performs an immediate update (full-screen)
• Future<void> startFlexibleUpdate(): Starts a flexible update (background download)
• Future<void> completeFlexibleUpdate(): Actually installs an available flexible update

Please have a look in the example app on how to use it!

Android

This plugin integrates the official Android APIs to perform in app updated that were released in 2019: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/in-app-updates

iOS

iOS does not offer such a functionality. You might want to look into e.g. https://pub.dev/packages/upgrader. If you call the methods above on a iOS device you'll run into a not-implemented exception.

Troubleshooting

Getting ERROR_API_NOT_AVAILABLE error
