What purpose does appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed (AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE) serve in Android In-App Update API?

Question

I have been following In-App update API in Android for quite some time now and I am unable to find any relevance of the following line:

appUpdateInfo.isUpdat         


        

Answer 1

I have encountered appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed(AppUpdateType.FLEXIBLE) or appUpdateInfo.isUpdateTypeAllowed(AppUpdateType.IMMEDIATE) returning false even though update is available, when there is no network connection on my device.
