Hey @Cyberdroid1,

I remember sending you links to the MS documentation for this feature on Telegram.

Could you resend me the links? I forgot the name of the API 😅.

Sorry, I think our chat had got cleared some time back. The links might have been swept away with that...

I'm still not 100% sure if this would work perfectly. As the app sometimes starts without a package identity when restarted programmatically [other than the startup task and manual launch by the user] some APIs misbehave quite often and may cause instabilities.

I don't know if this will work or not. We may need to wait till v0.8.3 (because this feature will be added to v0.8.2 and will only be valid in future updates) is released and updated via the Store to actually see if this works.

To check its validity it will show a message stating "App update successfully!" [only for v0.8.3 just to check if it works. I will remove this message in the future versions].

Let's hope it works 😅.
