Ota Updater?

I don't think I've seen this in the code yet. Create a json with a version tag and a changelog tag, compare the versions, read the changelog upon choosing to download, implement a download sequence and installer.

(if your not able to post to any stores or repost)

Why implement a basic app store into the app itself? That would massively bloat its size, and provide redundant functionality for the 99.999999% of users who either use F-Droid (per https://github.com/axel358/smartdock/issues/16) or the Play Store, when https://github.com/axel358/smartdock/issues/13 becomes available (soon).

@rgocal, if you want this and a library exists to provide it without any integration necessary, you could add it as a git submodule and compile the app directly, perhaps.

However, (especially if integration is necessary and this request is added) I believe that the compiled versions sent to storefronts should specify that that module not be included in CI.

I think the simplest solution would be a way to check for updates n take the user to the fdroid page if there is one

• Use Gson to read a json file
• Put a json file in the local github repository. (version number and a link to download the apk, maybe a branch? "dev/stable)
• Check the current app version and if it's lower than the json file, add a prompt to download the file.

Or just use Obtainium.
