Force Android Users to Update Your App — With Just One Line of Code

You ship a critical bug fix. Push it to the Play Store. But half your users are still on the old, broken version. They never update.

AndroidAppUpdater fixes this with one line:

new AppUpdater.Builder(this).build();

That's it. Your app now checks the Play Store for updates and prompts users automatically.

What It Does

• Checks Play Store for latest version
• Shows a customizable update dialog
• Force mode: blocks the app until updated (for critical fixes)
• Flexible mode: user can skip (for minor updates)
• No server needed — reads directly from Play Store

Why Not Google's In-App Update API?

Google's solution requires Play Core library, complex callbacks, and only works on Play Store distributed apps. AndroidAppUpdater is simpler:

✅ One line setup
✅ No Play Core dependency
✅ Works with any distribution method
✅ Customizable UI
✅ Handles edge cases (no internet, sideloaded apps)

When to Force Update

• 🔒 Security vulnerabilities
• 💥 Breaking API changes
• 🐛 Data-corrupting bugs

When to Use Flexible

• ✨ New features
• 🎨 UI improvements
• ⚡ Performance optimizations
