FYI: iOS does not have the auto update feature that Android has

Is this require google play panel, or I just need to code the app? If it doesn't need google play, I'd like to take it :)

Hey, @alibardide5124 ! Thanks for your interest our project!

Just need to add logic (in app updates) to our app.

[alibardide5124]

Thanks, @behzodhalil. I'm on it.

Since I didn't work on multiplatform projects, this would be a good example to look at :)

[alibardide5124]

By the way, I didn't see any release or download link. Where can I download APK file?

You can start by adding logic to the androidApp module, as it is specific to the android app. Now, the project is in the development stage and for this reason I haven't uploaded it yet, but you can run it locally.

Best regards :)

Hi. I've implemented update logic to app. It checks for update and finish app if user don't update. This was a project that requires security, so I assumed the user should immediately update for safety.

However, there was a catch... You see I didn't work with multimodule Gradle dependency in apps (Like your app that has navigation, AdMob, etc. folders in root directory) And I got an error as I opened project:

A problem occurred configuring project ':resource'.

Could not determine the dependencies of null.
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':resource:classpath'.
> Failed to calculate the value of task ':build-logic:convention:compileJava' property 'javaCompiler'.
> No matching toolchains found for requested specification: {languageVersion=11, vendor=any, implementation=vendor-specific}.
> No locally installed toolchains match (see https://docs.gradle.org/8.0/userguide/toolchains.html#sec:auto_detection) and toolchain download repositories have not been configured (see https://docs.gradle.org/8.0/userguide/toolchains.html#sub:download_repositories).

It's related to your resource module. I spent a few hours, but I couldn't figure it out. So I just implemented logic in MainActivity.kt and push it. I pretty sure it works. Just test it from play console.

And greatly sorry for this :(

@alibardide5124 I'm pleased to see that you've implemented the "in-app update" feature. I've reviewed to your code.

Additionally, we are following the git flow branching strategy. For running CI/CD, please make a request to merge into the develop branch.

Thanks!

FYI: Now, I'm working with this issue #94. After finishing, gradle files will change.

Hi @behzodhalil. I just made some changes to code, and you can see diff here:
main...alibardide5124:anypass-kmp:fix_issue_#92_in_app_update

If you could, please check it out and tell me if I missed anything. I realized that I can't work on a multiplatform project with a Windows device, so I wrote logic in another project and implemented it on this project.

You mentioned earlier that I missed an important part of the in-app update. I checked my code and I didn't see what's wrong. Can you please tell me what I missed?

Sorry for late response! I'll review right now your PR.
