InAppUpdates.iOSAndroid.Maui 0.0.6

Usage

• Add NuGet package to your project:

    <PackageReference Include="InAppUpdates.iOSAndroid.Maui" Version="0.0.6" />

• Add the following to your MauiProgram.cs CreateMauiApp method:

  builder
	.UseMauiApp<App>()
+	.UseInAppUpdates(static options =>
	{
		options.AppUpdateCheckIntervalDays = 0; // Check for updates every time the app starts
        options.AppUpdatePreferenceFileName = "AppStoreVersionPreference";
#if IOS
        options.AppBundleID = "6741144561";
		options.AppPackageName = "com.company.example";
		options.AppCountryCode = "au";
		options.AppUpdateAlertTitle = "Update Available";
		options.AppUpdateAlertMessage = "A new version {0} of the app is available. " +
										"Please update to continue using the app.";
		options.AppUpdateAlertButtonYesTxt = "Update Now";
		options.AppUpdateAlertButtonNoTxt = "Later";

		options.AppUpdateDelayAfterSplashInSeconds = 0.5;
#endif

#if ANDROID
		options.ImmediateUpdatePriority = 2;
#endif
#if DEBUG
#if ANDROID
		options.UseFakeAppUpdateManager = true;
#endif

        options.DebugAction = (applog) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Debug action executed: " + applog);
        };
#endif

    })
	.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
	{
		fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
		fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
	});

iOS

Notes

• Properties mentioned in the iOS Macro are required for iOS
• By using the bundle ID, the app will be able to check for updates in the App Store.
• Package name used to redirect iOS Store, when update is available.

Android

Notes

The default behavior:

• If priority 1-3 is specified, flexible update will be offered
• If priority 4-5 is specified, immediate update will be offered

There is no need to specify conditional compilation here, the package provides an empty method for non netx.0-android platforms as a stub to make integration as simple as possible.
It will display a window when starting an application or resume according to the official guides.
You cannot see the popup dialog while developing or if you distribute it manually. As you can see here, you have to download the app from the Play Store to see the popup. I recommend using Android Play Store's “Internal App Sharing” feature to test.
