How to check version number and open app in App(iTunes)Store (iOS)?

I need to check current version of Installed Application. If it is not same app should navigate to app page in app store.

I am using latest version plugin for this. Its working fine with Android but not with iOS

Setings.appVersion = await CrossLatestVersion.Current.GetLatestVersionNumber();
if (Setings.appVersion == "1.0.1")
{
     MainPage = new NavigationPage(new Login());
}
else
{
     //lblBuildNumber.Text = DependencyService.Get<IAppVersionAndBuild>().GetBuildNumber();
     MainPage = new NavigationPage(new UpdateAppPopup());
}


async void  Handle_Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
      await CrossLatestVersion.Current.OpenAppInStore("com.KIH.Consultant");
}

with this code it should navigate to app page in app store or playstore its wokring with fine with playstore, but not working in appstore(ios)

use Xamarin.Essentials to get the current version string and version code for the app.

// Application Version (1.0.0)
var version = AppInfo.VersionString;

// Application Build Number (1)
var build = AppInfo.BuildString;

1) Create One Interface Inside Your Main Project 

public interface IAppService
{
  string GetVersion();
}

2) Then Implement it inside your droid project

public class AppService : IAppService
{

    public string GetVersion() {
    var context = Android.App.Application.Context;
    var info = context.PackageManager.GetPackageInfo(context.PackageName, 
    Android.Content.PM.PackageInfoFlags.MatchAll);
    return info.VersionName;
}

3) Then Implement it inside your ios project

public class AppService : IAppService
{
    public string GetVersion()
    {
        return NSBundle.MainBundle.InfoDictionary["CFBundleShortVersionString"].ToString();
    }
}

4) Now you can use it like this

string v = Get<IAppService>().GetVersion();
