Installation

To use the In-App Update Library in your project, follow these steps:

Step 1: Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add JitPack to your project's build file. Open your root build.gradle file and add the following to the repositories section:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2: Add the dependency

Next, add the dependency for the In-App Update Library in your module's build.gradle file:

dependencies {

}

After these steps, sync your project with the Gradle files to ensure that the library is properly imported into your project.

Usage

Initialization:

In your MainActivity or any other Activity from which you want to start the update process, initialize the InAppUpdateManager:

import com.simplifymindfulness.inappupdate_library.InAppUpdateManager
import androidx.activity.result.ActivityResultLauncher
import androidx.activity.result.contract.ActivityResultContracts
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.activity.ComponentActivity
import androidx.activity.compose.setContent
import com.google.android.material.composetheme.adapter.InAppUpdateKotlinLibTheme
import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme
import androidx.compose.material3.Surface
import androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
import androidx.compose.ui.layout.fillMaxSize

class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    private lateinit var activityResultLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<IntentSenderRequest>

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        activityResultLauncher = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartIntentSenderForResult()) { result ->
            // Handle the result of the update flow here
        }
        InAppUpdateManager.init(this, activityResultLauncher)
        setContent {
            InAppUpdateKotlinLibTheme {
                Surface(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize(), color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.background) {
                    HelloOpenSource()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Handling Update Results:

Implement the logic to handle the result of the update flow in the registerForActivityResult callback.
