UpdatePlugin is a highly customizable Android library for handling in-app update flows, from checking an update API through downloading the APK to triggering installation. It exposes 13+ customizable hook points (network tasks, notifiers, strategies, parsers, file checkers) with sensible defaults so it works out of the box.

Use cases

• add in-app update checking to an android app
• download and install apk updates with resume support
• implement forced update or skip-version logic
• customize update prompts and download progress notifications
• verify downloaded apk integrity against dns hijacking
• run background polling update checks
• integrate updates in plugin or hotfix environments

When to choose

• you need fine-grained control over every stage of the android update flow
• your update api returns a custom response format
• you need wifi-aware update strategies or background polling
• you use pluginization or hot-fix frameworks and need custom install behavior

When to avoid

• you target iOS or non-Android platforms
• you distribute through Play Store only and can use the official in-app updates API
• you need a maintained library - the last release was in 2019 and there is no license file
