Android In App Update Structure

Hi coders👋,

Today, I am talking about In-App-Update integration on Android. This structure allows the apps to be updated from within the apps. This library provides flexible and mandatory update types. For example; if your new app version includes major changes, you can use the IMMEDIATE update type. Let’s coding together.

First of all, we need to add the library to the build.gradle file (If you have added the Google Play Core library before, you can pass this step. Because, In-App Update Library is a part of the Google Play Core libraries).

Now, we can integrate In-App-Update structure into the our app. I am writing sample code in below. (If you are using FLEXIBLE type, you have to handle SDK listener for stable SDK integration)

Well done, you can update the app to be updated from within the app. If you want to learn more details about this library, you can visit this website.

Finally, if you want to test this structure, you must upload the app bundle on your internal testing channel in your Google Play Console.

Note: In-app updates are not compatible with apps that use APK expansion files (.obb files).

Thanks for reading. Hope to useful.

See u to new adventures. 🙋‍♂️
