General

RuStore In-app updates SDK enable users to be kept up to date with the latest app version on their device. This allows them to stay informed about any performance enhancements or bug fixes that have been implemented.

User scenario example

Additionally, the SDK offers the ability to notify users of a new version and provide an option to install it. The installation process can occur in the background, while the user can track the progress of the update.

Prerequisites

For RuStore In-app updates SDK to operate correctly, the following conditions need to be met:

  • Android 7.0 or later.
  • RuStore app version on the device is up-to-date.
  • User is authorized in RuStore.
  • RuStore app is allowed to install applications.

Connecting to project

  1. Copy the plugin projects from the official RuStore repository to GitFlic.
  2. In your IDE, open the Android project from the unreal_plugin_libraries folder.
  3. Build your project with the commandgradle assemble.

If the build is successful, files will be created in unreal_example / Plugins / RuStoreAppUpdate / Source / RuStoreAppUpdate / ThirdParty / Android / libs and unreal_example / Plugins / RuStoreCore / Source / RuStoreCore / ThirdParty / Android / libs:

  • RuStoreUnityAppUpdate.aar.
  • RuStoreUnityCore.aar.
  1. Copy the contents of unreal_example / Plugins folder to the Plugins folder inside your project. Restart Unreal Engine.
  2. In the plug-in list (Edit > Plugins > Project > Mobile) select RuStoreAppUpdate and RuStoreCore.
  3. In the YourProject.Build.cs file of PublicDependencyModuleNames list, connect the RuStoreCore and RuStoreAppUpdate modules.
  4. In the project settings (Edit → Project Settings → Android) set the Minimum SDK Version parameter at least to 24 and Target SDK Version parameter to 31 or later.

Create update manager

Create update manager before calling library methods.

How to initialize a library

Initialize the library before calling its methods.

Вызов метода Init
URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->Init();

All operations with the client are also accessible from Blueprints. Below is an initialization example.

img
info

The Init call ties the object to the scene root, and, If no further work with the object is needed, execute the Dispose method to free memory. The Dispose method call will untie the object from root and securely complete all sent requests.

Deinitialization

Вызов метода Dispose
URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->Dispose();
img

Initialization check

If you need to check whether the library is initialized, use the GetIsInitialized method. Method returns a bool value type:

  • true — if the library is initialised;
  • false — if Init has not yet been called.
bool bIsInitialized = URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->GetIsInitialized();
img

Check for updates

Before requesting an update, check if it is available for your application To check for updates, call the GetAppUpdateInfo method. When this method is called, the following conditions will be verified:

  • The current version of RuStore is installed on the user's device.
  • The user and the app are not banned in RuStore.
  • RuStore app is allowed to install applications.
  • User is authorized in RuStore.

Upon calling this method, the FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo object will be returned which contains information regarding any required updates. It is recommended to request and cache this object in advance, ensuring a prompt and convenient update download process for the user.

Each GetAppUpdateInfo request returns requestId, that is unique within a single application run. Each event returns requestId of the request that triggered the event.

Вызов метода GetAppUpdateInfo
long requestId = GetAppUpdateInfo(
[](long requestId, TSharedPtr<FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo, ESPMode::ThreadSafe> response) {
// Process response
},
[](long requestId, TSharedPtr<FURuStoreError, ESPMode::ThreadSafe> error) {
// Process error
}
);
img

The Success callback notification returns a FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo structure in the Response parameter. The structure contains a set of parameters required to determine the update availability.

Структура FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo

}

UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly)
EURuStoreUpdateAvailability updateAvailability;

UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly)
EURuStoreInstallStatus installStatus;

UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly)
int64 availableVersionCode;
};
  • updateAvailability — update availability:

    :

    • UNKNOWN (uint8 = 0) — by default.;
    • UPDATE_NOT_AVAILABLE (uint8 = 1) — no update required.;
    • UPDATE_AVAILABLE (uint8 = 2) — update needs to be downloaded or it has already been downloaded to the user's device.;
    • DEVELOPER_TRIGGERED_UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS (uint8 = 3) — update is already being downloaded or installation is already running..
  • installStatus— update installation status, if the user has already started the update installation at the time:

    :

    • UNKNOWN (uint8 = 0) — by default.;
    • DOWNLOADED (uint8 = 1) — successfully downloaded.;
    • DOWNLOADING (uint8 = 2) — currently being downloaded.;
    • FAILED (uint8 = 3) — error.;
    • PENDING (uint8 = 5) — awaiting update..
  • availableVersionCode — update version code.

info

The update download is only available if the updateAvailability field has the UPDATE_AVAILABLE value.

The Failure callback returns структуру with the error information. Error structure is described in Error Handling.

Download and install updates

Using listener

After the update's availability is confirmed, you can receive the update's download status in OnStateUpdatedInstanceEvent of the URuStoreAppUpdateManager object.

Событие OnStateUpdatedInstanceEvent
DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE_TwoParams(FRuStoreOnStateUpdatedInstanceDelegate, int64, listenerId, FURuStoreInstallState, state);

UPROPERTY(BlueprintAssignable, Category = "RuStore AppUpdate Manager")
FRuStoreOnStateUpdatedInstanceDelegate OnStateUpdatedInstanceEvent;
Подписка на событие слушателя
FScriptDelegate Delegate;
Delegate.BindUFunction(YourUObjectPtr, FName("YourCallbackMethod"));
URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->OnStateUpdatedInstanceEvent.Add(Delegate);
Пример метода обработчика обратного вызова
UFUNCTION()
void YourCallbackMethod(int64 listenerId, FURuStoreInstallState state) {
// Process callback
}

Subscribe to a listener event from Blueprint:

img

The OnStateUpdatedInstanceEvent event returns a FURuStoreInstallState object in the state parameter describing the current download status. FURuStoreInstallState is described in Checking the update download status.

Listener interface

The URuStoreAppUpdateManager class implements a standard listener. You can create your own listener class using the IRuStoreInstallStateUpdateListenerInterface interface.

Интерфес IRuStoreInstallStateUpdateListenerInterface
UINTERFACE(Blueprintable)
class RUSTOREAPPUPDATE_API URuStoreInstallStateUpdateListenerInterface : public UInterface
{
GENERATED_BODY()
};

class IRuStoreInstallStateUpdateListenerInterface
{
GENERATED_BODY()

public:
UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, BlueprintNativeEvent, Category = "RuStore InstallStateUpdate Listener Interface")
void OnStateUpdated(int64 listenerId, FURuStoreInstallState& state);
};

The OnStateUpdated event returns a FURuStoreInstallState object in the state parameter describing the current download status. FURuStoreInstallState is described in Checking the update download status.

Calling the RegisterListener method performs registering the listener.

caution

For the default URuStoreAppUpdateManager listener, calling RegisterListener is not required.

Вызов метода RegisterListener
int64 listenerId = URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->RegisterListener(YourListenerPtr);

YourListenerPtr — object of a class that implements IRuStoreInstallStateUpdateListenerInterface.

Check update status

FURuStoreInstallState describes the current download status.

Структура FURuStoreInstallState
USTRUCT(BlueprintType)

};
  • bytesDownloaded — number of bytes downloaded.
  • totalBytesToDownload — total number of bytes that need to be downloaded.;
  • percentDownloaded — update download progress in percent;
  • installStatus — update installation status, if the user has already started the update installation at the time:
    • UNKNOWN (int == 0) — default status;
    • DOWNLOADED (int == 1) — downloaded;
    • DOWNLOADING (int == 2)— being downloaded;
    • FAILED (int == 3) — error;
    • PENDING (Int == 5) — waiting for download.
  • installErrorCode — error code during download. All possible errors are described in Error Handling.

Delete listener

If you no longer need a listener, use the UnregisterListener method to remove a listener, passing a previously registered listener to the method. UnregisterListener must be called for all listeners before the application terminates.

caution

For the default URuStoreAppUpdateManager listener, it is not necessary to call UnregisterListener on application shutdown.

Вызов метода UnregisterListener
bool bIsDone = URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->UnregisterListener(YourListenerPtr);

YourListenerPtr — object of a class that implements IRuStoreInstallStateUpdateListenerInterface.

img

If you implement your own listener, you can also unregister the default listener to save resources.

Вызов метода UnregisterListener
auto instance = URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance();
bool bIsDone = instance->UnregisterListener(instance);

Delayed update

Running an upgrade script

Update with RuStore UI

img
  1. To confirm the update, the user is presented with a RuStore UI dialogue.
  2. When you click the Update button, a dialogue box will appear to confirm that the update has been installed.
  3. If the update is successfully installed, the application will be closed.

Running an upgrade script

Use the StartUpdateFlow method to start downloading the application update.

info

The FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo object becomes invalid after a single use. To call the StartUpdateFlow method again, request FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo again using the GetAppUpdateInfo method.

See Checking for updates.

Each StartUpdateFlow request returns requestId, that is unique within a single application run. Each event returns requestId of the request that triggered the event.

Вызов метода StartUpdateFlow
EURuStoreAppUpdateOptions appUpdateOptions = EURuStoreAppUpdateOptions::DELAYED;
long requestId = StartUpdateFlow(
appUpdateOptions,
[](long requestId, EURuStoreUpdateFlowResult response) {
// Process response
},
[](long requestId, TSharedPtr<FURuStoreError, ESPMode::ThreadSafe> error) {
// Process error
}
);
img
  • appUpdateOptions — update type:
    • DELAYEDdelayed update. To confirm the update, the user is presented with a RuStore UI dialogue.
    • SILENTsilent update. The update will be downloaded in the background.
    • IMMEDIATEforced update. Until the update is installed, use of the application will be blocked.

TheSuccess callback returns EURuStoreUpdateFlowResult in the Response parameter:

  • EURuStoreUpdateFlowResult::RESULT_OK — user has confirmed the download.
  • EURuStoreUpdateFlowResult::RESULT_CANCELED — user refused to install the update.

The Failure callback returns the FURuStoreError structure with the error information in the Errorparameter. The structure of the FURuStoreError error is described in Error Handling.

After calling the StartUpdateFlow method you can monitor the download status in the OnStateUpdatedInstanceEvent event.

Once the EURuStoreInstallStatus::DOWNLOADED status is received in the installStatus field of FURuStoreInstallState, the update installation method can be called.

Forced update

Running an upgrade script

Update with RuStore UI

img
  1. To confirm the update, the user is presented with a RuStore UI dialogue. Until the update is installed, use of the application will be blocked.
  2. When you click the Update button, a dialogue box will appear to confirm that the update has been installed.
  3. If you then click on the 'Install' button, a full-screen dialogue box will appear asking you to install the new app version.
  4. Once the installation is complete, the application will restart.
caution

If the Rustore version is 1.37 or higher, the application will restart. If the version of Rustore is lower, the application will close to install the update. It will not reopen when the update is complete.

Running an upgrade script

Once you receive FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo, you can check if the forced update is available.

Вызов метода CheckIsImmediateUpdateAllowed
bool bIsAvailable = URuStoreAppUpdateManager::Instance()->CheckIsImmediateUpdateAllowed();
img

The result of CheckIsImmediateUpdateAllowed is recommended when deciding whether to run a forced update, but this result does not affect the ability to run the script. Your internal app logic determines the necessity to run the update script.

Use the StartUpdateFlow method to start downloading the application update.

info

The FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo object becomes invalid after a single use. To call the StartUpdateFlow method again, request FURuStoreAppUpdateInfo again using the GetAppUpdateInfo method.

See Checking for updates.

Each StartUpdateFlow request returns requestId, that is unique within a single application run. Each event returns requestId of the request that triggered the event.
