How to update

How to update?

Updating is usually easy, but some times, it requires a few extra steps.

First

Upgrade the Blueprint library version.

To do it, go to the buildSrc/src/main/java/Versions.kt file.

Then look for these lines:

const val blueprint = "x.x.x"

Update the version code with the latest from

Next

The following steps are to apply some more specific or complex changes that are required every now and then to keep the apps completely up to date.

This might be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get used to it, it will become easier.

The first thing you need to do, is check what version of Blueprint are you currently using and which one is the latest.

Let's say you are currently at version 2.3.0 and the latest is 2.3.7.

You must go version by version like: 2.3.1, then 2.3.2, then 2.3.3, and so forth, until you get to 2.3.7.

If you don't see a version listed below, for example 2.3.1, then it means no additional changes are required for that specific version, and you can move on with the next one, which would be 2.3.2.

Check below for the additional required changes. They usually have a link to a commit or a comparison, that looks like the following:

Some things to note:

• Red means code that was removed.
• Green means code that was added.
• Always, the whole line will be highlighted, but it doesn't mean the whole line was removed/added. And you might find small parts of the code in a line being highlighted with a darker color.

If you still need help, you can always join the discord server and ask any questions you have or ask for help.
