Use case:

We may have a Forge version at v 2.1.0, and deploy a change requiring a major version update. Because of this, the installed version is v2.1.0 but the deployed v3.0.0 is available.

We want to show in-app ‘upgrade’ notifications to alert the customer in-app about an upgrade. We require a way inside Forge to detect (manual version management or external requests to get app marketplace metadata from API are not available from @forge/api. Having a way to retrieve the latest deployed version, similar to getAppContext() would resolve this.

Requirements:

For both Jira/Confluence products, a way to getAppVersion for the latest deployed major version from the forge api, so we can detect a newer version, allowing us to notify customers.
