Version Update Checks and Notifications
Notification channels for publishers and testers when a new version is uploaded, plus how to add in-app update checks.
When a new version is uploaded, Pgyer notifies the publisher and testers so they can grab the latest build. You can also implement in-app update checks using Pgyer's API.
Publisher Notification Channels
After a new version is uploaded, publishers can be notified via:
| Channel | How to Enable |
|---|---|
| On by default once you add an email address during registration | |
| SMS | On by default once you add a phone number during registration |
| Follow the Pgyer WeChat official account and link your account — see the WeChat binding guide |
To adjust or turn off notifications, visit the notification settings in the top-right menu.
Enable Notifications for Team Members
To notify other team members (such as internal testers) when a new version lands, add them via Members. Team members can receive notifications by email and SMS.
Steps:
- Go to App Management → the app → Members.
- Click Add Member.
- In the dialog, choose Tester, enter the member's phone number or email, and click Add.
- The member receives an invite email or SMS; they accept via the link inside.
- Once accepted, the member is notified by email and SMS every time a new version is uploaded.
Bulk Import
In the Add Member dialog, choose Tester, then click Bulk Import → Upload and Import in the lower right. Upload a CSV file matching the template. Imported users will receive email and SMS notifications for every new version.
In-App Update Checks
To check for updates inside your own app and prompt users to upgrade, use the Pgyer API. Example projects for iOS and Android are at https://github.com/PGYER/AppUpdateChecker; follow the project README for usage.
