I don't think the plugin still has active maintainers. Here's an alternative.

I did not like that this plugin is no longer maintained. So I wrote my own: cordova-plugin-apkupdater. And here is a demo-app. I am active and have a good number of users who are already productively updating their apps with it.

So feel free to spam my issue page and I will take care of it.

@kolbasa your project is pretty cool but I think it solves a different problem (please correct me if I'm wrong)

  • Yours checks if a new APK exists, downloads, and updates it by running the app installer.
  • This project only checks if a newer version of project client side content exists , downloads, and updates it

@mreis1 As I understand it, this project is also a simple APK updater. But it is not maintained, it doesn't work with Android 9 or 10, for example. What you mean is probably something like cordova-plugin-code-push.

Here is a video of the demo app. This looks like an Apk Updater to me.

@vaenow Thank you for correcting me. I misunderstood this plugin.
