AppUpdateService: linkToDeath ? unable to update the app

[emmaxCreative]

So I have 2 Apps on the playstore in the internal test track. One is dev envrionment and the other one is for production.

Last time I tested the inAppUpdate it worked after 5 or so restarts of the dev app. Even yesterday. After some time the update showed up, but only for the dev app... production app never received the update dialog and has nothing in the logcat.

Today I released a new update to test again and this is the log output for the dev app... production app still shows no sign that the checkUpdate would be performed.

I/PlayCore: UID: [10183]  PID: [21896] AppUpdateService : requestUpdateInfo(com.package.name)
I/PlayCore: UID: [10183]  PID: [21896] AppUpdateService : Initiate binding to the service.
I/PlayCore: UID: [10183]  PID: [21896] AppUpdateService : ServiceConnectionImpl.onServiceConnected(ComponentInfo{com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.installservice.DevTriggeredUpdateService})
I/PlayCore: UID: [10183]  PID: [21896] AppUpdateService : linkToDeath
I/PlayCore: UID: [10183]  PID: [21896] OnRequestInstallCallback : onRequestInfo
I/PlayCore: UID: [10183]  PID: [21896] AppUpdateService : Unbind from service.

This is how I check for the update. I check in the root.dart of my App in initState()

// Platform messages are asynchronous, so we initialize in an async method.
  Future<void> checkForUpdate() async {
    if (Platform.isAndroid) {
      InAppUpdate.checkForUpdate().then((_updateInfo) {
        if (_updateInfo?.updateAvailable == true)
          InAppUpdate.performImmediateUpdate().catchError((e) => print(e));
      }).catchError(
          (e) => log(e.toString(), name: 'Error checking for update'));
    } else if (Platform.isIOS) {
      //ios updater goes here
    } else {}
  }

Is there something wrong with the way how I check for the update or is this a general problem that updates dont seem to show up ?

Any solution guys ?? Facing the same issue

[emme1009]

I still get the log output that there is a linkToDeath but somehow the Android InAppUpdate worked on my last Production and Dev Update. Dont know why or how. But its still a big issue imo because you never know if its going to work or if its going to do nothing at all

Hii
are you sure it works when it's released on play store?
and when update button pressed does it work like native apps? I meant it doesn't go to play store to press update again, right?
I cannot check this out, on debug mode, that is why I'm asking such questions

I can confirm that once we upload the app to the play store, it works without problems. I had the same problem, it reached 100%, I installed but did not restart the app, but once uploaded to the store, it works as expected.

did anyone find any fix for that?
