# flutter_in_store_app_version_checker
## Description
This package is used to check if your app has a new version on playstore or apple app store. Or you can even check what is the latest version of another app on playstore or apple app store.
## Supported platforms
This package supports checking for app updates only on the following platforms:
| Platform | Description |
|--------------|---------------------------------------|
| `Android` | GooglePlay, ApkPure |
| `IOS` | Apple AppStore |
Other platforms, such as `Web`, `Windows`, `Linux`, etc., are not supported.
## Supported Android Stores
The package supports checking for updates through the following Android store types:
| Android store type | Description |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| `AndroidStore.googlePlayStore` | The default Google Play Store |
| `AndroidStore.apkPure` | The alternative ApkPure store |
You can specify the store using the `androidStore` parameter:
```dart
final _checker = InStoreAppVersionChecker(
androidStore: AndroidStore.apkPure, // Use apkPure instead of Google Play
);
```
## Installation
Add InStoreAppVersionChecker to your pubspec:
```yaml
dependencies:
flutter_in_store_app_version_checker: any # Or the latest version on Pub
```
## Example
### Initialize
```dart
final _checker = InStoreAppVersionChecker();
```
#### Or
```dart
final _checker = InStoreAppVersionChecker(
appId: 'Specify the app id', // Optional
currentVersion: 'Specify the current version', // Optional
);
```
### Usage
```dart
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
checkVersion();
}
Future checkVersion() async {
final result = await _checker.checkUpdate();
print('App url : ${result.appURL}');
print('Can update : ${result.canUpdate}');
print('Current version : ${result.currentVersion}');
print('New version : ${result.newVersion}');
if (result.errorMessage != null) print('Error: ${result.errorMessage}');
};
```
### The results
| Result | Description |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| `appURL` | The link to the app’s store page |
| `canUpdate` | `true` if an update is available |
| `currentVersion` | The current version of the app |
| `newVersion` | The new version if available |
| `errorMessage` | An error message (if any) |
