ALVersionControl

ALVersionControl is an application update process controller. There are 3 types of update status which described below. AlVersionControl does not provide any api call. You have to make it in own way.

Version Control API structure

Request:

ALVersionControl has handy request model called ALVersionControlRequest which has only 2 variable. You may use it in your api call. You have to store latest versions on your server database for both iOS and Android.

public  struct  ALVersionControlRequest: Encodable {

    ///  OS Type (1:iOS - 2:Android)
    let os: Int
    ///  App bundle version (e.g. 1.0.2)
    let version: String

    public  init() {
        self.os = 1
        self.version = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["CFBundleShortVersionString"] as? String ?? ""
    }
}

Json

{
    "os": 1,
    "version": "1.0.2"
}

Response

ALVersionControl has response model called ALVersionControlResponse which you have to use in order to us handle controlling process. You may use your own model, but you have to convert it to this model in "versionControllerAPIHandler" method to pass through completion.

public  enum  ALVersionControlStatus: Int, Codable {

    ///  All good. App is up to date
    case upToDate = 0
    ///  Optional update available
    case optional = 1
    ///  Force update available
    case force = 2
}

public  struct  ALVersionControlResponse: Decodable {
    
    ///  The info message which inform to user there is a new update.
    let message: String?
    ///  The status of new update.
    let status: ALVersionControlStatus?
    ///  The market url which lead the user to update the app
    let url: URL?

    public init(message: String?, status: ALVersionControlStatus?, url: URL?) {
        self.message = message
        self.status = status
        self.url = url
    }
}

Json

{
    "message": "Hey! You have a new update.",
    "status": 1,
    "url": "app market url"
}

1. Up to date [0] : So there is no update. All is good.
2. Optional Update [1] : To inform users there is a new update and user may update the app. Once user dismiss the alert, we will not bother again.
3. Force Update [2] : User must update the application in order to keep using the app. Hopefully never use it.

Setup

ALVersionControl.shared.setup(delegate: self)

func  applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
    ALVersionControl.shared.appDidBecomeActive()
}
