## API Usage
### Check for latest version
Check if the current running app is the latest version available in the public store:
```csharp
bool isLatest = await CrossLatestVersion.Current.IsUsingLatestVersion();
```
### Get latest version number
Get the version number of the current running app's latest version available in the public store:
```csharp
string latestVersionNumber = await CrossLatestVersion.Current.GetLatestVersionNumber();
```
### Get installed version number
Get the version number of the current app's installed version:
```csharp
string installedVersionNumber = CrossLatestVersion.Current.InstalledVersionNumber;
```
### Open app in public store
Open the current running app in the public store:
```csharp
await CrossLatestVersion.Current.OpenAppInStore();
```
### Set country code
Set the country code to be used when looking up the current app in the public store:
```csharp
CrossLatestVersion.Current.CountryCode = "nz";
```
Notes about the `CountryCode` property:
- It is optional; if not provided it will default to "us".
- It is only needed/used on iOS.
- If used, the value should be an alpha-2 code (ISO 3166-1).
## Example
```csharp
using Plugin.LatestVersion;
var isLatest = await CrossLatestVersion.Current.IsUsingLatestVersion();
if (!isLatest)
{
var update = await DisplayAlert("New Version", "There is a new version of this app available. Would you like to update now?", "Yes", "No");
if (update)
{
await CrossLatestVersion.Current.OpenAppInStore();
}
}
```
