  1. Thanks for the post Alejandro! I have a question… How do you test that the dialog appears? I want to implement this but when I run the app, the dialog does not appear even if i lower the version of the app in my build.gradle… the app is already on the store so it should be checking for it

    1. Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. I wrote one earlier but it seems I never clicked send (:sad-panda:).

      There are ways for you to always show the dialog while testing:
      – If you are looking to check how it looks but it only shows once then you will need to enable `debugDisplayAlways` in `Upgrader`. This will force the dialog/card to be shown always while debugging.
      – If you are looking to test whether it should be shown but it only displays once (and you would like to keep `debugDisplayAlways` as `false`) then you might need to tweak `durationUntilAlertAgain` to match your needs. It defines the amount of time that the app should wait until showing the alert again and it defaults to 3 days.
      – If none of the previous information helps, you could try to enable `debugLogging` (defaults to `false`) and debug your issues too. I had some instances in which the version pulled was correct but the one locally was not matching properly so that’s something that will help you make sure your settings are correct.

      Now, if none of this suggestions help, I’m willing to setup a call or something to review if that’s good with you. You can drop a line to [email protected]

      Happy coding!
