Windows store application auto udpate - mandatory best practice ?

Hello all

Basic question but could not find any specific answer :

I have now a game made with Unity published on Windows Store, all is fine.

Now i start to add "updates" / new releases on the windows store, but i then see this "mandatory update" checkbox on store submit page, that request to use an ingame script to check and auto update - force update and code is obviously not compatible. (private StoreContext > no such sdk)

So what is the "official" way / plugin or method in order to make the updates mandatory, from Unity releases on windows store ?

Thanks

 

Hello so when i add "update" on Microsoft store i have a checkbox "mandatory update"

And below its written :

"...assuming you have used the Windows.Services.Store APIs to allow your app to programmatically check for package updates and download and install the updated packages."

So obviously i need this "Windows.Services.Store APIs" in the unity project

and when reviewing the code details :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private StoreContext context = null;
3.  
4. public async Task DownloadAndInstallAllUpdatesInBackgroundAsync()
5. {
6.     if (context == null)
7.     {
8.         context = StoreContext.GetDefault();
9.     }

Edit : seems i understand better the whole system now so i have to exclude the current scripts from editor and just use from build as unity editor will not run windows store code online

 

You don't need that.

If you tick the force update box, it will force the app on the user's device (most of the time...).
