AppUpdately

Fetch the update status for a given app bundle identifier, without the need of any remote configuration. Simply provide your app's bundle identifier and compare the resulting update status.

Supports macOS and iOS.

Usage

The fetcher automatically fetches the bundle identifier. You can use the following code example:

var cancellable: AnyCancellable?
cancellable = UpdateStatusFetcher().fetch { result in
    defer { cancellable?.cancel() }
    guard let status = try? result.get() else { return }

    switch status {
    case .upToDate:
        break
    case .updateAvailable(let version, let storeURL):
        // Use the information to present your update alert or view.
    }
}

Or with async/await:

Task {
    let fetcher = UpdateStatusFetcher()
    let status = try await fetcher.fetch()
    
    switch status {
    case .upToDate:
        break
    case .updateAvailable(let version, let storeURL):
        // Use the information to present your update alert or view.
    }
}

Update notifier

You can make use of the AppUpdateNotifier which takes care of keeping track of seen updates.

let updateNotifier = AppUpdateNotifier(userDefaults: standard)
updateNotifier.updateStatusIfNeeded()

print(updateNotifier.lastStatus) // For example: .upToDate

AppUpdateNotifier is an ObservableObject and can be used in SwiftUI. lastStatus is a published property which can be observed.

You can use updateNotifier.triggerPresenterIfNeeded(presenter: ...) to use as a simple trigger for presenting a view in response to an available update.
