Class AppSourceValidator
Cross-platform tool to figure out which store the app was installed from, on Android and iOS. This is the single entry point for installation source checks; the detailed per-platform sources are available through TryGetAndroidSource(out AppInstallationSource) and TryGetAppleSource(out AppleAppInstallationSource).
public static class AppSourceValidator- Inheritance

objectAppSourceValidator
Remarks
Handy when you ship a single binary and need to branch on the store the app was installed from (for example, to pick which In-App Purchase SDK to activate). On iOS the resolution runs asynchronously at launch because it relies on async StoreKit and MarketplaceKit APIs, so a very early call may report Unknown; use IsResolved to check readiness, or query a bit later in the app lifecycle.
Properties
IsResolved
True when the installation source is ready to read. Always true on platforms other than iOS; on iOS it reflects the asynchronous launch-time resolution.
public static bool IsResolved { get; }Property Value
- bool
Methods
GetAppSource()
Gets a normalized, cross-platform snapshot of the app installation source.
public static AppSourceInfo GetAppSource()Returns
- AppSourceInfo
An AppSourceInfo for the current platform; never null.
IsInstalledFromEpicGamesStore()
Checks if app was installed from the Epic Games Store, on either Android or iOS.
public static bool IsInstalledFromEpicGamesStore()Returns
- bool
True if app was installed from the Epic Games Store, false otherwise or if it couldn't be determined.
IsInstalledFromOfficialStore()
Checks if app was installed from the platform's first-party store (Google Play / App Store).
public static bool IsInstalledFromOfficialStore()Returns
- bool
True if installed from the official store, false otherwise or if it couldn't be determined.
TryGetAndroidSource(out AppInstallationSource)
Gets the detailed Android-specific installation source (the installer package name and detected store).
public static bool TryGetAndroidSource(out AppInstallationSource source)Parameters
sourceAppInstallationSourceThe Android installation source when running on an Android device; otherwise null.
Returns
- bool
True when running on an Android device and the source was obtained; false otherwise.
TryGetAppleSource(out AppleAppInstallationSource)
Gets the detailed Apple-specific installation source (iOS / iPadOS), including the signing Environment and the alternative marketplace bundle id.
public static bool TryGetAppleSource(out AppleAppInstallationSource source)Parameters
sourceAppleAppInstallationSourceThe Apple installation source when running on an iOS device; otherwise null.
Returns
- bool
True when running on an iOS device and the source was obtained; false otherwise. A true result only means the call ran on iOS, not that the asynchronous resolution finished — check IsResolved (or Unknown) when you need a fully resolved value.
