Check for Updates within App
Member ✭✭
I am currently converting our app from Xcode and Swift to VS and Xamarin and need the ability to check within the app for updates. Previously I used a CocoaPod called iVersion that would check our server for an update and install if a different version. Is there something within Xamarin that can do the same thing? Due to the app not being available for general use but only internal use, it is an Ad-Hoc app that will be installed from a specific URL. The app will not be available via the respective app stores.

I did something similar before. I think you should be able to Google search. Over the Air (OTA) distribution of iPhone apps. Basically, you place an IPA File and Plist File on your own server. The server has to be HTTPS. Then you reference your app to pull from your server. I think you make a change in the PLIST and it will grab the new IPA from your server.
This worked because we had only a small number of people using the app.
