Force Update of an Android App When a New Version Is Available

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...
