force-update

A Flutter setup for checking an app’s version and asking users to install a newer release. It supports optional updates, blocking updates, Android in-app updates, and store redirects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for minimum-version checks, update dialogs, Android Play Store update flows, and version rules managed through Supabase or Firebase Remote Config.
Why use it?
It helps keep users on versions that remain supported when security fixes or server changes require an upgrade.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

force-update scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Force Update / App Update

Implement version checking and in-app update prompts to keep users on supported app versions.

When to Use This Skill

  • Adding force update functionality to block outdated versions
  • Implementing soft update prompts for optional updates
  • Setting up Android In-App Updates for seamless upgrades
  • Configuring version management via Supabase or Firebase Remote Config
  • User asks "force update", "app update", "version check", or "update dialog"

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • OTA code updates (Flutter doesn't support this like React Native) - Use store updates
  • App store submission process - Use /release instead
  • CI/CD build versioning - Use /ci-cd instead

Questions to Ask

  1. Update strategy: Force update only, soft update only, or both?
  2. Backend: Supabase, Firebase Remote Config, or custom REST API?
  3. Android In-App Updates: Enable flexible/immediate updates via Play Store?
  4. Minimum version logic: Per-platform, per-feature, or global minimum?

Quick Reference

Update Types

Type Behavior When to Use
Force Update Blocks app until updated Security fixes, breaking API changes
Soft Update Dismissible prompt New features, minor improvements
In-App Update (Android) Download without leaving app Any update, better UX
Maintenance Mode Blocks app entirely Server downtime, critical issues

Version Comparison

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
