# Maui.AppStoreInfo
[](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Oscore.Maui.AppStoreInfo/)
[](https://github.com/oscoreio/Maui.AppStoreInfo/actions/workflows/dotnet.yml)
[](https://github.com/oscoreio/Maui.AppStoreInfo/blob/main/LICENSE)
Allows you to check the information in App stores(for example the latest published version)
and suggest actions to the user based on this.
### Supported Platforms
| Platform | Minimum Version Supported |
|----------|---------------------------------------|
| iOS | 12.2+ |
| macOS | 15+ |
| Android | 5.0 (API 21) |
| Windows | 11 and 10 version 1809+ (build 17763) |
> [!NOTE]
> Since Android doesn't provide an official API, there is no support for this other than opening a store page. It is recommended to use [Android In-App Updates](https://github.com/oscoreio/Maui.Android.InAppUpdates) if you need to check for updates.
# Usage
- Add NuGet package to your project:
```xml
```
- Add the following to your `MauiProgram.cs` `CreateMauiApp` method:
```diff
builder
.UseMauiApp()
+ .UseAppStoreInfo(options =>
+ {
+ options.CountryCode = "gb"; // Optional, default is "us"
+ options.PackageName = "com.companyname.appname"; // Optional, default is AppInfo.Current.PackageName
+ options.CurrentVersion = new Version(1, 0, 0); // Optional, default is AppInfo.Current.Version
+ })
.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
{
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
});
```
- Use the `AppStoreInfo.Current` class or `IAppStoreInfo` from DI to check the latest version and suggest actions to the user:
```csharp
if (!await AppStoreInfo.Current.IsUsingLatestVersionAsync())
{
await AppStoreInfo.Current.OpenApplicationInStoreAsync();
}
// This is all based on the information provided by the following method
var information = await AppStoreInfo.Current.GetInformationAsync();
await DisplayAlert(
"App Store Information",
$"Title: {information.Title}\n" +
$"Description: {information.Description}\n" +
$"Latest Version: {information.LatestVersion}\n" +
$"External Store Uri: {information.ExternalStoreUri}\n" +
$"Internal Store Uri: {information.InternalStoreUri}\n" +
$"Release Notes: {information.ReleaseNotes}\n" +
$"Application Size: {information.ApplicationSizeInBytes/1024/1024} MB\n",
"OK");
```
