import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

void main() async {
  final updateService = UpdateService.createDefault();

  final updateStatus = await updateService.checkStatus(skipUpdate: kDebugMode);

  updateStatus.when(
    required: (local, published) =>
        // major version changed
        // e.g. 1.0.0 -> 2.0.0
        updateService.openStore(),
    optional: (local, published) =>
        // minor or patch version changed
        // e.g. 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1
        //   or 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0
        print('update optional'),
    upToDate: ()
        // the app is up to date, don't do anything
        {},
    unknown: ()
        // can't determine if an update is available
        // some examples of this are when there's no internet connection
        // or when no app with the same package name was found
        {},
  );
