It isn't detecting the app store version as shown on the image

On iOS it sees the current store version and also sees the local version, which from the screenshot are equal and shouldn't pop up the upgrader dialog.

I see that issue you have pointed out. It can be reproduced using the command line app included in this package.

% dart playstore_lookup.dart id=com.theoditor.mobile country=US

Results:

For some reason the version is not inside the top section on the Play Store page, which is where the version is detected:

@humanolaranja @Williano Do either of you have thoughts on this?

@humanolaranja @Williano Do either of you have thoughts on this?

Yes. The upgrader crawler for android just works for production apps. I see that this app is under open testing track (early access). That's why is not working propertly. When it wents to production track, it will works well

[humanolaranja]

There's no way to get the version from open testing apps. In this image, you can see the version available for your device, and this only is possible because you are logged in.

If you access you app in an anonymous tab, you will see that is not possible to get the version

[larryaasen]

@humanolaranja That makes sense. Thanks for looking at this.

[humanolaranja]

What do you think about update the docs and close this issue?

[fiki2002]

Okay, @larryaasen @humanolaranja, okay so this only sorts the Android issue, on iOS, I get the upgrader dialog while the versions are the same as shown in the simulator image above

And also thank you for your swift responses🧎🏽‍♀️❤️

Apple provides an api to get app info, Google don't. Your android app are under early access, when publishing to production, upgrader will works well for both systems

[larryaasen]

For iOS you are using this parameter set to true: debugDisplayAlways: always force the upgrade to be available, defaults to false

[fiki2002]

Yeah, i get that

But the issue i am having, is that it still pops the dialog up even when the iOS version are the same

[larryaasen]

Does it still display when debugDisplayAlways is not true? If so, please send a log with that.

[humanolaranja]

Yeah, i get that

But the issue i am having, is that it still pops the dialog up even when the iOS version are the same

Yeah, in the code you provided, debugDisplayAlways are set to true. Are this the issue?

[fiki2002]

Ohh, i fully understand now, thank you!

[fiki2002]

I'd proceed to close the issue
