Get the version number of any app's latest version available in the public store:

string latestVersionNumber = await CrossLatestVersion.Current.GetLatestVersionNumber("appName");

• appName should be the app's bundle identifier (CFBundleIdentifier) on iOS/macOS and the app's package name on Android.
