In-app updates for mobile game

Hi, I would like to ask if there is a possibility to make in-app updates for a mobile game so users don’t have to reinstall the game each time an update occurs. I was searching and found this: In-app updates  |  Android Developers. However, there is no support for Defold there. Is there another way to do this, or is the only option to create from this Native Extension?

Creating an extension seems the only option for you. After that you can share it with us :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

We call this Live Update in Defold. It is a way to update assets and code in a game without doing a new release.

Note: Live Update is a cross platform solution and has nothing to do with the Android specific In-app updates which you linked to. If you want to use this the Android solution you need to build a native extension, and perhaps also modify the build pipeline.
