How can I find out if my app (which already running on a system)

  • 0

How can I find out if my app (which already running on a system) has been updated since last run (if the user updated it using Windows Store)?

Actually, I’m trying to update (reload, re-fetch, …) the data of my app when a user installs a new version of it using Windows Store.

My idea is to keep the version of the app in Local Application Data and every time an app start, checks if that’s equal to current version. If not, this means an update. But I don’t know how can I access the current version of my app running on current system!

Any solution?

    If you mean the version as you set up in the package.appxmanifest, then:

    Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.Id.Version

    see PackageId.Version
