Future<void> performImmediateUpdate(): Performs an immediate update (full-screen)
Future<void> startFlexibleUpdate(): Starts a flexible update (background download)

Android #
This plugin integrates the official Android APIs to perform in app updated that were released in 2019:
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/in-app-updates
iOS #
iOS does not offer such a functionality. You might want to look into e.g. https://pub.dev/packages/upgrader.
If you call the methods above on a iOS device you'll run into a not-implemented exception.
