flutter autoupdate

flutter_updater #
This library allows you to easily add auto-update functionality to your Android, iOS, and Windows Flutter application.
Our use case was to update the app by launching the App Store on iOS or install/execute the Android APK or Windows executable; thus, this package was born. To use this package, you should adhere to the format of the Version Template below.
Features #

Fetch updates from iTunes App Store/remote URL
Launch App Store
Download functionality with progress
SHA512 hash checksum on download

Installation #
Add the following to your Android app.

AndroidManifest.xml


<provider
android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="${applicationId}.fileProvider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true">
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/file_paths" />

Examples #
import 'package:flutter_updater/flutter_autoupdate.dart';

// Android/Windows
var updater = UpdateManager(versionUrl: 'versionUrl');

// iOS
var updater = UpdateManager(appId: 1500009417, countryCode: 'my');

// App Store country code, this flag is optional and only applies to iOS
var result = await updater.fetchUpdates();
print(result?.latestVersion);
print(result?.downloadUrl);
print(result?.releaseNotes);
print(result?.releaseDate);

if (result?.latestVersion > Version.parse('1.0.0')) {
// Get update stream controller
var update = await result?.initializeUpdate();
update?.stream.listen((event) async {
// You can build a download progressbar from the data available here
print(event.receivedBytes);
print(event.totalBytes);
if (event.completed) {
print('Download completed');

// Close the stream controller
await update.close();

// On Windows, autoExit and exitDelay flag are supported.
// On iOS, this will attempt to launch the App Store from the appId provided
// On Android, this will simply attempt to install the downloaded APK
await result?.runUpdate(event.path, autoExit: true, exitDelay: 5000);
}
});
