I have been trying to implement the Google’s new in-app updates and I am stuck at a point. The issue is first, how can the developer specify the type of update i.e. flexible or immediate while releasing a new update of the app. Secondly, if it's for the developer to decide which type of update he has to implement for a specific update then what is the use of – appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed(AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE) or appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed(AppUpdateType.Flexible)
it is given in the documentation that Google Play uses an integer value between 0 and 5, with 0 being the default, and 5 being the highest priority. To set the priority for an update, use inAppUpdatePriority field under Edits.tracks.releases in the Google Play Developer API. how to set it?
We can set integer values between 0 & 5 for update priority, with 0 being the default and 5 being the highest priority. In order for us to set the update priority, we have to use the Google Play Developer API, and then we can check it on the client-side using AppUpdateInfo#getPriority() .
Click on the app that you want the information and go to Statistics on the left menu. Now, you have a graph on your page. You can select the type of stats you want to see on the top in the middle, keep "Installs on active devices" selected. Right below that, you have another dropdown on "Android version".
But here's something new today on Android. Well, not the schedule of an app launch but you can now schedule the launch of your Android app updates. Yes, you heard right, other than the standard publishing you can now enjoy timed publishing of your Android app updates.
Priority for app update can be set using Play Developer Publishing API's Edits methods. Currently there is no way to set it using Play Console but there is a plan to integrate in Play Console. Please look at this for more help, you will also find other helpful notes in this link. Hope it may help you
