keep your app users up to date on their devices

With the help of a this Flutter plugin.

• Check if a user has the most recent installation of your app.
• Display a message to the user with a link to the relevant app store page.

See more at the Dart Packages page.

Installation

Add app_update_alert as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

With Flutter:

Run this command:
flutter pub add app_update_alert

This will add a line like below to your package’s pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  app_update_alert: ^1.5.0

run an implicit flutter pub get

Usage

Create an instance of AppUpdate in main.dart (or wherever your app is initialised).

@override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
 final appUpdate = AppUpdate(
      iosPackageName: 'com.your.IOSpackage',
      androidPackageName: 'com.your.Androidpackage', 
      iOSAppStoreCountry: 'in'
  );
}

Your Flutter package identification will be used by the plugin automatically to search the app store.
You can overwrite this identity if your app uses a different one on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store by giving values for androidPackageName and/or iosPackageName.

For iOS: You must specify iOSAppStoreCountry to the two-letter country code of the Software Store you want to search if your app is only accessible outside the India. A list of ISO Country Codes can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.

Quickstart

Calling showUpdateAlert with your app’s BuildContext will check if the app can be updated, and will automatically display a platform-specific alert that the user can use to go to the app store.

@override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
 final appUpdate = AppUpdate(
      iosPackageName: 'com.your.IOSpackage',
      androidPackageName: 'com.your.Androidpackage', 
      iOSAppStoreCountry: 'in'
  );
  
 appUpdate.showUpdateAlert(context: context);
}
