NuGet package that implementing Android In-App Updates for MAUI with debugging capabilities.

![Flexible](https://developer.android.com/static/images/app-bundle/flexible_flow.png)

# Usage

- Add NuGet package to your project:

```xml

```

- Add the following to your `MauiProgram.cs` `CreateMauiApp` method:

```diff

builder

    .UseMauiApp()

+   .UseAndroidInAppUpdates()

    .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>

    {

        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");

        fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");

    });

```

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](https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore/in-app-review/test), 

you have to download the app from the Play Store to see the popup. 

I recommend using Android Play Store's [“Internal App Sharing”](https://play.google.com/console/about/internalappsharing/) feature to test.  

When flexible updates were available in version 1.0.5, the default behavior was:

- If priority 1-3 is specified, flexible update will be offered

- If priority 4-5 is specified, immediate update will be offered

  

Currently for version 1.1.0 only immediate update is offered, regardless of priority, but there are plans to return the old behavior when it becomes possible

# Notes

- Right now the package uses the `Xamarin.Google.Android.Play.App.Update` package, but it's not possible to do flexible updates with it.
