        appVersion.alertPresentationStyle = .actionSheet // I want UI presented as an actionSheet
        appVersion.checkBeforeUpdatePresented = { // I want to present UI only if App Store version has more than 1 review and average rating is higher than 3
            return (appVersion.appStoreVersionInfo?.ratingsCount ?? 0) > 1
                && (appVersion.appStoreVersionInfo?.averageRating ?? 0) > 3
