Along with the launch of a number of new tools and features at its Android Dev Summit 2018, Google has also launched the a new API, called \u201cIn-app Updates,\u201d which aims to help developers ensure that users are running the latest and greatest version of their app. Android\u2019s new In-app Updates API doesn\u2019t force or lock out users from the app if they chose not to update it.
\nInstead, the API has been designed to aggressively inform users about the latest available updates and give them a smooth in-app installation experience without closing the app or opening the Google Play Store.
\nGoogle also says that Android developers will have the ability to completely customize the update flow so that it feels like part of your app, which indicates that all apps will not have the same in-app update experience.<\/p>\n
