does it happen only when device is unlocked ?
cause currently there's no way to add functionality to the download notification (flutter downloader thing).

Yes, It happened both unlocked and locked. The app can't get the installer if have multi installer (I guess, aka SAI)

I have the same thing when using built-in updater but it's a minor complaint when using this. There is no option to change location to /Download folder of downloaded apk to update the app.

But instead, the downloaded apk stored inside the app data can't be deleted or even clear cache the app to free up space when before I forgot to update the app. So I ended up to clear data this app, restore my progress and tried to update again.

Do you have any consideration @nullxception, storing updated apk files to the downloads folder instead of the in-app data itself? It is the first time to comment in this project.

Uhm, the app already does that for you. The app will be downloading the apk to app cache first, and then when update completed, it's automatically moved to /sdcard/Downloads/Boorusphere/app-update/ folder.

The actual bug on 1.3.8 and 1.3.9 is, the app_updater did not properly connected to the flutter_downloader API.
so even if the apk download has been performed, the app just doesn't get any information about it at all, it's like nothing happens.

It's fixed on 1ac3ea9 already, so next release should be fine.
