What happen's, if they change the format of the div?

Hi daniel,

Thank you very much for this great library, i would like to know will this library work if the google play change the element format of their software version number display element?
eg:-
"div[itemprop=softwareVersion] " changed to "div[itemprop=Software_version] "

Please correct me, if i am wrong.

Yes it is correct. In this case the library tries to find the element with a div[itemprop=softwareVersion] but fails its search. The try catch, that manages that error, will return that the user is updated anyway.
Maybe you could improve that problem using a smarter jsoup selector using the regular expression (http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/selector-syntax), but if the name ("softwareVersion") changes more significantly that will not work anyway...

Thanks for your response 👍 Anyway hope for the good, the google play may won't change the div name.
