App auto update for ios and android

[gaguerrero]

Is there a relatively easy way to make the application update itself by downloading the new version from a server? Thank you!

Best way is using the playstore for Android and itunes for IOS. These days it’s practically auto update for most clients.

But for directly updating your app without the need for an app store you could take a look at:

Thank you very much, I’ll give it a look!

Please post your experience with codepush! I am very curious myself.

[gaguerrero]

I have tried using codepush and the experience was good, it worked fine. Thank you!

Does code-push works for capacitor ?

[gaguerrero]

I don’t know, in my case I did the tests with the plugin for cordova provided by mircosoft and it worked perfectly!

Would you be so kind and explain (with code ) what you had to do to make codepush work in Quasar.
