Version details not showing

[Anand3777]

I can see my package, but installed and available version is not displaying.

Faced issues.

1. After than not able view the version details only alert with appname "A new version of xxx is available! Version null is now available-you have null"

[drkhannah]

i get null as well for version number on iOS

[larryaasen]

@drkhannah I would like to help you resolve this issue on iOS. What is the Bundle Identifier from your iOS app that was used when you saw the null for version number? Also, what is the Bundle version in the app?

[larryaasen]

@Anand3777 I would like to help you resolve this issue. Did you see this issue on Android on iOS? Are you using an Appcast file?

[drkhannah]

yes i am using an appcast file that i host on firebase and just point to that url

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:sparkle="http://www.andymatuschak.org/xml-namespaces/sparkle"> <channel> <title>My Cleveland Clinic - Appcast</title> <item> <title>Version 1.15.0</title> <description>Cleveland Clinic Patient App</description> <pubDate>Wed, 23 Oct 2019 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <enclosure url="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ccf.patientapp" sparkle:version="1.15.0" sparkle:os="android" /> </item> </channel> </rss>

org.ccf.patientapp is the same for the iOS and Android app org.ccf.patientapp

[drkhannah]

for iOS the version available and the version installed are both null, (but this may be because the app is not in testflight or the appstore yet)

for Android the version available is null, but the version installed is populating

I also have a null on the App Store version for iOS. For now I am just pointing to a random app in the app store. But when I hit UPDATE NOW it takes me to the App Store like it should.

But I am able to get the current version.

@drkhannah I ran a test using the example app, changing the iOS Bundle Identifier to org.ccf.patientapp, the Version to 0.9, and the Build to 0.9.2 and ran the app. I see an upgrade alert which seems correct to me showing the version in the app store as 1.0.1869. Note that in the screenshot the app name is Upgrade because that is what the Display Name is in the example.

Let me try testing the appcast file for Android.

[larryaasen]

@drkhannah I used your Appcast file on a test using the example app on iOS and it worked fine. Appcast file: https://gist.github.com/larryaasen/e11095666fe5250b85668e04c02fdc28

Next, I will try the same on Android.

@Anand3777 I would like to help you resolve this issue. Did you see this issue on Android on iOS? Are you using an Appcast file?

I'm facing this issue on android, Sorry im not using Appcast file, can you tell how to use this?

[drkhannah]

im still getting null, is there maybe some things that i could be missing? what could cause it to be null?

[cytryn]

I also get null and I am not using Appcast and don't plan to do so, is Appcast a requirement?

[drkhannah]

its throwing an HTTP exception in io_client.dart

error = "Connection closed before full header was received", uri = https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=org.ccf.patientapp

[drkhannah]

this error causes final response = await iTunes.lookupByBundleId(_packageInfo.packageName); to return null

also on ios _installedVersion = _packageInfo.version; is 1.0.0 when i debug, but it displays in the alert dialog as null

[drkhannah]

for android it is fetching my appcast from "gs://cleveland-clinic-933f9.appspot.com/appcast.xml", but the items in the appcast are null

[drkhannah]

ok, it looks like it is only null the first time the alert shows when debugging, the second time it shows it not null, so maybe its just a bug with the debugAlwaysUpgrade debug mode

[larryaasen]

@Anand3777 There is information on how to use the Appcast file on the README for this repo. It is necessary on Android to use Appcast with this package.

[larryaasen]

@cytryn Appcast is only a requirement for Android, but can also be used on iOS.

@Anand3777 I don't see that null issue like you do. Can you enable logging in the Upgrade widget and include the log here? You can use debugLogging: true in the UpgradeAlert and UpgradeCard widgets.

The log should look something like:

I just published an update to this package, v0.7.0, that includes some improved error messaging. Also, I added a command line app to help diagnose iTunes problems. See the README.

[larryaasen]

I will close this issue if there are no other comments.

[larryaasen]

Closing due to lack of activity.
