Ability to reset skip version status.

[kamrankhan07]

I wanted to use combination of Harpy and our own server controlled way of forcing user to update the app, and I needed to reset the skipped version status for it. There are a lot of other ways to go by this, like exposing alert method or writing our own method but I thought it would be a good addition to API.

Hi - thanks for the PR! Can you give me more context around why you had to reset the skip version status?

[kamrankhan07]

We have an endpoint that we call to see if we need to force user to update the app. However I still wanted to show user when a new version is out, Harpy helps there. However if user already set to skip the version and later on we want to force the user to update to that version then I had to show custom alert and not use harpy. So, that why I had to reset the skip version status, so that I can use the Harpy code without having to repeat the code that is already written there.
So I first check if need to force user then I set the alert type to force and reset skip version status and call checkVersion and it works as expected.

Typo: should be “reset”

I like the idea of adding a way for Harpy to coordinate with an external API on forcing an update. In one project I did this by exposing a “minimum supported version” endpoint and checking that response before initializing Harpy. I also had to reset this for the reason you mentioned. I wonder if there’s a more intuitive interface we could use. Otherwise this seems like a a potentially helpful addition

Probably parse custom api response to get minimum version to force and pass it to Harpy, which can then automatically check once more if user skipped and if the version is greater than the current version.

Got it - I will follow up on Friday. Would you mind making the same changes on the Siren repository?

I have update the interface, removed the reset method with a new parameter (same like I did in Siren), I will create a new pull request and close this one.
