How do I check if update for my Windows Phone App is available?

Question

How do i make my app itself whenever there is a new version on the store? I have researched enough but nothing seem to have worked for me.. Help required! Thank you

Make it read something from the internet.. It's like your app reads a text from internet and store it. then check it again and match the stored data.. If stored data doesn't match the newly read data, it means there's an update. — Gmnd-i, Oct 15 '14 at 05:29
I tried doing that but it could not make it happen for some reason. It will be very helpful if you could just elaborate or provide me with some code — Taeb Ali Khan, Oct 15 '14 at 05:49

I use this https://github.com/igorkulman/Kulman.WP8/blob/master/Kulman.WP8/Services/WindowsPhoneInformationService.cs, works for Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 Silverlight apps.

Windows Phone 8.1 automatically updates apps, so this shouldn't be necessary any more for the general case.

If your app has a server component that requires the client be in sync then you can send the client version to the server to catch the case where users haven't yet upgraded.
