Feature Request: Automated App Update Notifications and In-App Update Prompt
Description:
"Implement an automated update notification and in-app update prompt system to streamline the app update process for users.
Specific Requirements:

• Push Notification for New Updates:
  • When a new APK update is available on the GitHub repository, the app should send a push notification to the user's device.
  • The notification should clearly state: "A new update is available. Do you want to install it?"
  • The notification should provide "Yes" and "No" options.
  • If the user selects "Yes," the app should automatically download and initiate the installation of the new APK from the GitHub repository.
  • If the user selects "No," the app should postpone the update.
• Delayed/Recurring Update Reminders:
  • If the user selects "No" to the initial update notification, the app should send subsequent reminder notifications after a defined time interval (e.g., daily, weekly).
  • The time interval of the reminder should be configurable.
• In-App Update Prompt in Settings/General Section:
  • Within the app's "Settings" or "General" section, implement an update check mechanism.
  • When the user navigates to this section, the app should automatically check for available updates.
  • If an update is found, the app should display a clear prompt asking the user to download and install the new version.
  • The in app prompt should also have a button to start the download and install process.
  • The in app prompt should not download the apk automatically, it should wait for the user to press the install button.
    Rationale:
    This feature will enhance the user experience by:
• Proactively informing users about available updates.
• Simplifying the update process by automating downloads and installations.
• Providing flexible update options (immediate or delayed).
• Ensuring users are aware of updates even if they miss the push notification.
• Reducing the need for users to manually check for updates.
  Technical Considerations:
• Implement a mechanism to check the GitHub repository for new APK releases.
• Utilize push notification services (e.g., Firebase Cloud Messaging) for update alerts.
• Ensure secure APK downloads and installations.
• Implement a version checking system, so the app knows when a new version is available.
• Make the time interval for the delayed notifications configurable.
  This detailed description should provide a clear understanding of the desired functionality and its benefits."

Firstly, thanks for the well-detailed description of the feature. Though this would be a great addition it's not that big of a priority at the moment at least. I will be looking into this later, but until then, I would suggest using the Neostore since the app is already in IzzyonDroid and as far as I know the sync delay is not that bad.

I just added a rudimentary update check, which should be enough for now.

Ho appena aggiunto un rudimentale controllo degli aggiornamenti, che per ora dovrebbe essere sufficiente.

Thank
