John,

I had a quick look of the .bas files and I understood (with my little knowledge), it checks the .ver file and compares the version number and then downloads the new apk, after showing message, and installs it.

Please correct me if I guessed wrong.
Yes I will try it after I make the server/file etc. and check it, but just wanted a quick advise from you.

And a BIG THANK YOU for the this contribution It is need of the hour now.

Regards,

Anand

Hi, thank you for sharing your code. To test it, I had downloaded NotificationBuilder from the following link ,

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/notification-builder-library.27376/

But code is telling me that NotificationChannelBuilder is a unknown library. I search the Forum, but no NotificationChannelBuilder Library found. What am I missing here, please help.

Thank You

How are you getting visibility if you're not on the play store?

Hey Andy,

We pulled all our apps from the play store. The apps are only really tools that our users use. That connect to a much larger back end system.
