valid TO mobile - alternative way of updating

[mjmj5558 2,346]

Seeing the two, recent updates, when the update appeared days later in the playstore after it came out to the game, i think they alternative way of updating the app should be added to the "new version aviable" screen.

Aka, below the gray text, write: If the update is still not aviable, download it from our website. This will make it possible for everyone to easily get the correct version of the mobile app, even if google play is still reviewing.

Under review

Probably not worth the effort, since most mobile players don't care about a game app enough to go and manually install an update from a website. Why not just get to the core of the issue and make sure it updates properly instead?

The core issue is google and it's review process, and to solve this, according to google, the developers should submit the new version of the app at least 3 days before the update comes live. Given the fact that alternative updates almost every week, and the updates aren't probably ready days before it's release, i don't think this work.

That is a valid point.

Well don't you think the devs already know that? (I'm just asking that a different problem may be arising instead of this )

Exactly, why should tanki make Google play or another website update the mobile version for them when they can just update it as the players are opening the app?

I do not know a lot about android development yet, but I don't think that the game could update itself.

Obviously they know that, that's why an alternative solution was made.

You can add the option "Download as APK file" in the prompt update interface of the Android version of the game. This link is the latest APK link. After downloading, it will automatically enter the installation interface, and then you can install it. The system will prompt how to open the option of installing unknown apps on the phone.
