Is there any way to use Updates in google app for xamarin

Question

I would like to know if there is a nuget package or if google provides this API for xamarin.forms?

I saw that it had only for kotlin and native java

Answer 1

Have you checked Xamarin.Google.Android.Play.Core? Looks like you need at least 1.11 and the present version is 1.10.3.2. Why not request it at https://github.com/xamarin/AndroidX.

Answer 2

You can check this docs. It tells how to publish app on Google play or upload new version of apk officially.

And You can see this link, it's also about game update.

Answer 3

You could review the Play.Core library to support app-updates: https://github.com/PatGet/XamarinPlayCoreUpdater

If you want a example in xamarin forms, go to PlayCoreUpdateTest/PlayCoreUpdateTest.Android in the same repo.

I used an Android phisical device to test my app published in the store and that worked for me, good luck!
