What is Siren?
Siren is an Android library that notifies users when a new version of an app is available by comparing the installed version with a remote JSON file. It prompts users to update via the Play Store, solving the problem of fragmented app versions and low update rates. The library offers customizable alert types and supports semantic versioning for granular update control.
Android developers who need a simple, reliable way to prompt users to update their apps, especially those maintaining cross-platform apps alongside iOS versions.
Developers choose Siren for its straightforward approach, avoiding complex Google API integrations, and for its close alignment with the iOS Siren library, ensuring consistent update experiences across platforms with minimal configuration.
