I have an android app running on xamarin forms which was originally released under hockeyapp, since the last release, I have migrated to appcenter. During the migration, I had also missed adding the appcenter.distribute nuget package to my project. Having said that, previously, when the app was under hockey app, when we release the app users will see an update notification indicating that an update is available. Since I migrated to appcenter, I do not see the update notification popup in my app. I am fairly new to android and appcenter and not sure, if the appcenter.distribute is the right package that I should be looking at? Because, when I use the appcenter.distribute as well, it does not popup as a notification for update in the app, but takes us to a microsoft page in the browser to sign up. All this time my app updates were within the app as a silent update, where users will see a notification within the app and choosing download will download the update and install it.
Not sure what I am missing here and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You were doing everything correct. The sign up page should appear only once on the first app start. It saves some important information which then enables checking for new releases and the dialog. If you log in, does it still not work for you?
