How to force users to update app from play store in Flutter using in_app_update
There is a package for what you want:
https://pub.dev/packages/in_app_update
Android
This plugin integrates the official Android APIs to perform in app updated that were released in 2019: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/in-app-updates
iOS
iOS does not offer such a functionality. You might want to look into e.g. https://pub.dev/packages/upgrader. If you call the methods above on a iOS device you'll run into a not-implemented exception.
Thanks...

I want the users of my app to always have the latest version. If they don't have the latest version, it should download the latest version from play store first as shown in the image.
I found a package called Upgrader but this just gives a prompt. It is not linked to play store as shown in image.
Edit
As suggested by Maadhav Sharma, now I am using the in_app_update package but it says no update available.
This is my code:
.... class _TnPState extends State<TnP> { ThemeBloc _themeBloc; FirebaseMessaging _firebaseMessaging; NotificationBloc _notificationBloc; String _test; @override void initState() { _themeBloc = ThemeBloc(); _firebaseMessaging = FirebaseMessaging(); _notificationBloc = NotificationBloc(); _firebaseMessaging.configure( onMessage: (notification) async => _notificationBloc.yes(), onResume: (notification) async => _notificationBloc.yes(), onLaunch: (notification) async => _notificationBloc.yes(), ); checkForUpdate(); super.initState(); } Future<void> checkForUpdate() async { InAppUpdate.checkForUpdate().then((info) { String display = info.toString(); setState((){ _test = display; }); }); } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return StreamBuilder<AppTheme>( stream: _themeBloc.themeStream, initialData: AppTheme.Light, builder: (context, AsyncSnapshot<AppTheme> snapshot) { return MaterialApp( title: 'TnP', debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false, theme: appThemeData[snapshot.data], home: _test==null ? Container() : InAppUpdateScreen(display: _test),//SplashScreen(), ); }, ); } }
InAppUpdateScreen
just displays the text.
App in play store shows update is available:
But the app which is an older version installed via playstore shows no update:
Any idea how to solve this?

Maadhav Sharma almost 4 yearsI don't know abt that but maybe its due to the internal beta version. Anyway acc. to me U should ask the question as an issue in the plugin's repo.
