Install updates from Files

[Thomas1664]

Fixes #1513
I implemented the feature to install updates via a button in the about settings page.

@Thomas1664 Instead of adding a button to check for updates, it should autmaticly check for udpates when launching the app.

I didn't want to implement it yet because if the code is wrong the app crashes

That's fine, we will test it in a flight group to make sure it works correctly first, and if needed, we can wrap it in a try/catch.

@Thomas1664 Is this because the app is not connected to the Store in our debug builds?

[Thomas1664]

Yes

How did you get around this?

See the attached issue. We used a flight group.

interesting. i've been struggling with this. I have a flight group also, but this still happens.

@myokeeh We ended up wrapping this in a try/catch, for some reason we still get the error every time and updates are not detected, but at least the app isn't crashing.

@yaichenbaum, so GetAppAndOptionalStorePackageUpdatesAsync is in fact still broken--no updates detected. 🤷‍♂️I hope somebody at Microsoft gets on this and get it fixed.
