A JS/TS Library to download and install a new apk version of mobile apps. Wrapper of react-native-apk-installer-n with support to legacy android versions. Design to update existing applications e.g.: if you have app A and needs to update it from inside itself, you should create a update Alert that will use this lib to download and install the respective apk from your http server/api.

npm install @douugbr/react-native-apk-update

# For older RN versions
react-native link @douugbr/react-native-apk-update

These are also needed as peer dependencies:

npm install react-native-device-info
npm install react-native-fs

import { installRemoteApk } from 'react-native-apk-update';
import { useState } from 'react';

// ...

const [downloadProgress, setDownloadProgress] = useState < number > 0;
installRemoteApk(
  'https://example.com/example.apk',
  'myapk.apk',
  (downloadInfo) => {
    setDownloadProgress(downloadInfo.bytesWritten / downloadInfo.contentLength);
  }
);

filePath: The local uri where your apk is located.

remoteUrl: The url in which your apk is served. filename: The filename which will be saved in your documents folder. callback: A callback that will track the apk download progress (not the install one). Example above. absoluteFilePath: A filepath to save the file, if not specified the file will be saved on documents folder.
