• Immediate - In Immediate update install user will be blocked until the app is updated to the current version of available Play Store version

First Initialising the InAppUpdateManager

    inAppUpdateManager = InAppUpdateManager(activity)

For Starting the Update Process

    inAppUpdateManager.startUpdate(updateType)

Forced updates

There are some reasons when an update is mandatory. For this case you can implement a provider interface to decide if an update is a forced update

   class DemoForceUpdateProvider : ForceUpdateProvider {

    override fun requestUpdateShouldBeImmediate(availableVersionCode: Int, doUpdate: () -> Unit) {

        // You can place a Database Trigger here for eg you can trigger from backend that the version with 2.0 need to get Forced Updated immediately.
        // if a forced update is needed, just call doUpdate
        doUpdate()

    }
