I'm working on the application and have API points return the latest version and whether this version is required.
in the application, I send get request to this API point to verify the response, and based on it I can display an alert to the user letting him know that an update is available, when the update is required the user can't use the application until update it so when the user clicked on yes I take him to google play page to update it. the problem is the user can click on the return button on the device and get back to the application without updating it, and the alert doesn't display again.
so how can I check if the user really updated the application or just get back to it?record of this:
I call this function in useEffect in app.tsx:
const checkNewUpdate = async () => { checkForNewUpdate().then((res) => { console.log('your version response is:', res.data, 'and your native version is:', Application.nativeApplicationVersion); if (res.data.content.length != 0) { let version: AppVersionModel = res.data.content[0]; if (Application.nativeApplicationVersion !== version.version) { if (version.isRequired) { Alert.alert("كاينتحديتجديد", "خاصكولابداتديرتحديتلتطبيقمتجرأوالباشتستعملالمنصة", [ { text: "لا", onPress: () => { BackHandler.exitApp(); Updates.reloadAsync(); }, style: "cancel", }, { text: "نعم", onPress: () => { Linking.openURL("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beyondbelievers.awal"); } }, ]) } else { Alert.alert("كاينتحديتجديد", "خاصكتديرتحديتلتطبيقمتجرأوالباشتستعملالمنصة", [ { text: "منبعد", onPress: () => setLastVersion(true), style: "cancel", }, { text: "نعم", onPress: () => { Linking.openURL("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beyondbelievers.awal"); } }, ]) } } else { setLastVersion(true); } } else { setLastVersion(true); } }).catch((error) => { setLastVersion(true); console.log("error: ", error.response); }) }Ï
