How to update the xamarin app on a button click from the app itself

Question

I have a xamarin application and using Appcenter for the publish, we have a settings page in our App and need to enable an update button if a new release available in appcenter. And also need to update the app when the user clicks on that update button.(from the app itself,not navigate to appcenter site). Please help me if there is any solution.

Hello,

For Xamarin or MAUI applications published to AppCenter, you could add Distribute.CheckForUpdate(); into the button click event for update checking.

Please refer to Manually Check for Update to get more details.

Best Regards,
