The Auto Update SDK allows you to seamlessly update your app without requiring players to manually download and install a new version. Each update can include feature enhancements, bug fixes, and content improvements. Once updated, the new version automatically overrides the existing app on each player's device.
This SDK is supported for both Unity and Android platforms.
Auto Update SDK process
- Follow the instructions in the setup in your desired platform to import and configure the Auto Update SDK.
- Initialize the SDK.
- Implement the SDK’s API and callback methods.
- Upload your APK with the update to the Publisher Dashboard with the following details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| App name | Must be the same name as the current app's name, as it overrides the existing app. |
| App version and code name | Specifies the version and code name of the app update. |
| Package name | The unique package identifier of the app. |
| Message | Message about the updated version. |
| Update Type | Soft (optional): Players can delay the update and continue using the app with potential limitations. |
| Hard (required): Players must complete the update before proceeding. |
- Check for an update.
- If a new version of your app is available, prompt the player in-game to update. You can implement the update flow using one of the following approaches:
- Download & Install (separate steps): First download the update, and then install it when you're ready.
- Full Installation Flow (combined step): Download and install the update in one seamless flow.
