I am using Ionic 3. Is it possible that I compare the installed version with the version from Google Play Store and in the case if the installed version is smaller than the Google Play Store version, so that it will be redirected to the Google Play Store for updating.

Here is my code. The function always expects an .apk file. But I want it to be redirected directly to Google Store.

<update>
   <version>302048</version>
   <name>APK Name</name>
   <url>https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=.......?</url>
</update>

updateUrl = 'https://your-remote-api.com/update.xml;
this.appUpdate.checkAppUpdate(updateUrl).then(() => {
   console.log('Update available')
 });
