Welp funny enough, I am looking for exactly the same thing, difference is I’m in ionic 4, but anyway, I found a react native plugin that does that and I thought it’d work with ionic native since from what I heard react can run in ionic environments in ionic 4, but a dude told me it doesn’t work

> No. Ionic can use React Native plugin. You will need to find a Cordova plugin to do this. React Native is an entirely different eco-system from Ionic’s.

still looking for a solution, since I really want to get what is the latest version from he app store and not from the server or the database.  
There must be some solution, that works for ionic 1 too, unfortunately no one is talking about it
