how to make my app update itself to users

0

I have a question.

I have already created my app, and I have uploaded it to the play store. the point is that every time I do an update I have to tell my users that there is a new update for them to download.

My question is how can I get my app to update itself without needing them to enter the play store and have it updated?

I appreciate your support.

Greetings.

if you want to create an app that is updated automatically Like the Facebook application if that is your case, keep reading.

  

If you want to check if your application has updates (without      interact with Google Play), you should poll a server      (providing its current version) and let the server verify      if there is a newer version available. If that is the case, allow      that the server responds with a change log and a URL to the      latest version

Fortunately, there are libraries to do this:

  • android auto update . The Chinese library, but it should be the trick, away from the most popular library to do this, but this it may be only because Google Play is not available in China
  • AppUpdateChecker A simple non-Market way to Keep your application updated. Everything you need to configure is a URL that points to a JSON document that describes the changes to your application.
  • android auto updater client This project allows you to update automatically a running APK application using a server private update (see apk-updater) instead of the updater Google Play It also comes with a script from the server. SmartUpdates Previous library, but with instructions in English and also provides a script of the server.
  • AndroidSmartUpdates . Previous library, but with instructions in English and also provides a script of the server.
  • WVersionManager . Check for updates, but the Actual update must be downloaded from Play Store.
