I have i question about Google Play store, I 1st uploaded app, lets say version 1.0. I downloaded the app to my phone, then I made version 2.0 and uploaded it the store. Now my question is, how the user who already has the app gets this update, how to notify them and how to automatically give them the update of the app. Thanks.
Google play will notify users about new updates (usually when user has not updated apps for a while), and also automatically installs them in certain cases.
You can naturally use push notifications to notify app users that there is a new version available.
Actually Google Store does not do that any more, did some research and found this article Google Play Store will no longer show a notification after installing app updates - Neowin, also found the updated version under my profile on Store, but did not get any notification. user has to this now manually, or they don’t get it. So I am looking solutions for push notification, find one in Firebase, but this are just messages as I now by now.
I believe you could use Unity Remote Config for this https://unity.com/remote-config along with Unity - Scripting API: Application.version
how does it work?
I would encourage you to try and see. You can change the value of variables in your game at run time using Unity Remote Config, the values are retrieved from our server when your game starts. So you could set a remote setting as a string of “2.0” and then check the application version in your game and compare. If it’s different, let the user know there is an upgrade.
Ok I will check it and see how it will work, if I make it work
