Hi,

I am making a Gear S2 companion app (connected with Android Device)

I need to show the message to update the Gear app if the newer version is available on Gear Appstore.

Is there any way to check if the newer version is available on the Gear appstore ?

Best possible solution will be to open the Samsung Gear appstore in Android device so that user can update the Gear app

and show the "Update Your Gear" popup in Gear Device.

You can use a webservice to check version of your app. You have to deploy the service yourself and update it whenever you release a newer version.

If you find that current apps version is lower than web service's version you can offer user to get the updated version.

To launch Samsung App store to specific app (your app) you can follow the following:
