var boolean = storePackageUpdate.mandatory;

Public ReadOnly Property Mandatory As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

True if the package is a mandatory package; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The mandatory status of a package is not enforced by Microsoft, and the OS does not provide a UI to indicate to users that a mandatory app must be installed. Developers are intended to use the mandatory setting to enforce mandatory app updates in their own code that uses GetAppAndOptionalStorePackageUpdatesAsync to determine which packages have updates available and RequestDownloadStorePackageUpdatesAsync or RequestDownloadAndInstallStorePackageUpdatesAsync to download or install the updated packages.

For more information about using this property, including a code example, see Download and install package updates for your app.
