Iam using upgrader package for getting update alerts. In android iam getting the following error

PlayStoreResults.redesignedVersion exception: FormatException: Not a properly formatted version string

How can i resolve this issue.

[Sarath-K-S]

I tried debugging and following is the line of code of iam getting null

final additionalInfoElements = response.getElementsByClassName('hAyfc');

Version is not listed in the class hAyfc. How can i make this class contains my app version. My app currently is in open testing.

@humanolaranja I looked at this issue and storeVersion comes up with Productivity instead of the version 1.3.0.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.linways.lms&gl=US&hl=en&_cb=1681408599390912

Any idea why the logic inside PlayStoreSearchAPI.redesignedVersion() would not handle this Play Store listing?

Here is a link to the code: https://github.com/larryaasen/upgrader/blob/d1e5a7721173d1c4ab531a2d3b032651f117ad89/lib/src/play_store_search_api.dart#L258

[humanolaranja]

It looks like something wrong with the store listing

Check out an calculator app when you click in "About this app" link

With this link you gave, there is no version listed, even in the play store

The upgrader package will not be able to get the version if there is no version shown in the play store. I don't know why there is no version shown, but this is not related to the package, probably something to fix in the google play console

[larryaasen]

@humanolaranja It is strange that the version number does not show up in that top section. It does, however, show up below in the "Compatibility for your active devices" section.

[humanolaranja]

The PlayStoreSearchAPI.redesignedVersion() just looks to the top section. The Compatibility for your active devices depends on the login, so it's not possible to get this information

[larryaasen]

@Sarath-K-S There is not much that can be done since the Play Store is not displaying the app version number on that page.

Are there any special restrictions on the latest version, such as restricted devices or locations?

At least I suggest to wrap all the nullable field usage with try-catch. Otherwise the upgrader is not usable with catcher or any other error handler. Instead of silent checking (with failure of course) it raises exception through to a top level catcher which shows an exception dialog to an end user.

@out0f0rder What is not already wrapped in try/catch?

@out0f0rder What is not already wrapped in try/catch?

Well, disregard my message. The issue is related to 3.6 version, where some try-catch were missing.
No idea why 3.6 was installed in my environment. Seems I have to check all the dependecies...

hy any update i am getting this error

upgrader: PlayStoreResults.redesignedVersion exception: Bad state: No element

@larryaasen

[larryaasen]

@out0f0rder Version Lens is a helpful extension for VS Code that shows the latest version for each package. I use it a lot.

[out0f0rder]

@larryaasen

Thank you, I'll give it a try. BTW, I've found a weird dependence conflict: it's catcher depends on device_info_plus 7.0.0 while upgrader depends on 8.0.0 So, this is definitely a catcher issue. Lack of maintainer :(

[larryaasen]

@out0f0rder I tried using device_info_plus 7.0.0 with upgrader and it seems to work fine. I just pushed a change to downgrade the version requirement to 7..0.0.

[StarProxima]

Perhaps the problem is that the Linways V4 application is in open testing status. I have the same problem with my application, which is in open testing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nullexp.cube_system

[Sarath-K-S]

@GhulamZakariya GhulamZakariya Is your app is also in open testing track?

[youssefalaaramadan]

Good day, I get that too: upgrader: PlayStoreResults.redesignedVersion exception: Bad state: No element

@larryaasen

[larryaasen]

Please try again using the latest version 10.1.0 of upgrader and see if you are still having issues.
