Update an Android app (without Google Play store visit)


I wrote a Beta version of the application. It will be available for download through the web (I will not publish it to the Play Market). Is it possible to update this application without Play Market visit when the new version will be released?


Solution

  • Official support/library for In-app updates Google play core

    • In-app updates is a Play Core library feature that prompts active users to update your app. The in-app updates feature is supported on devices running Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher, and requires your app to use Play Core library version 1.5.0 or higher. Additionally, in-app updates are only supported for Android mobile devices, Android tablets, and Chrome OS devices.
