Update Notification Not Working Properly With Sideloaded Windows App | MAUI

[manishk-optimus]

Description

We use the following method to get the information whether there is an update available on the MS Store.

`public async Task IsAppUpdateAvailableAsync(Version currentVersion) { var updates = await global::Windows.Services.Store.StoreContext.GetDefault() .GetAppAndOptionalStorePackageUpdatesAsync();

return updates.Any();

}`

Problem is that this method returns a record in a list even when we have sideloaded application with the same version we have in store. It works correctly when app is installed directly from the store.

If I sideload application with higher version than that it is in store, then I dont get an update and it works correctly.

So it looks like the problem is only with sideload of an app version equals the store version. I have not found any way how to get information what version is available on the store.
