Auto Update
Auto Update functionality can be enabled/disabled on getupdraft.com in your app settings.
AutoUpdate work by comparing the build number of the app installed on the user's device and the app uploaded on GetUpdraft.
A prompt is displayed to the user if his installed version is lower than the version on Updraft. Thus, the build number must be incremented for each new build release to trigger the auto-update process.
Micro version comparison is supported, for example version 1.2.3.20180804 is greater than version 1.2.3.20180803
Feedback & Bug Reporting
Feedback functionality can be enabled/disabled on getupdraft.com in your app edit menu.
A prompt is shown to the user to inform him of the change of state of the feedback functionality.
If enabled, the user is explained how he can give feedback. User can take a screenshot to give a feedback.
