The basic answer is to use driver.RunNative to execute some CGo code that can ask for this information from the Android NDK.
I have a TODO item to write some of this up, but hopefully that helps in the meantime.

Thank you author for your patient answer. Is there any case of driver.RunNative? I'm not very good at it, so I'm asking for your guidance.

I have written up a summary of a customer conversation in case it helps https://fynelabs.com/2024/03/01/running-native-android-code-in-a-fyne-app/

Thank you author for your patient support! I also have a question, how or what app version do I make for the current program? I want to check and then prompt the user to update, for example the program version I have defined in fyneApp.toml, how do I get it?

I think you mean App.Metadata().Version https://docs.fyne.io/api/v2.4/appmetadata.html.

Please don't use closed tickets for discussions though - join one of our servers, or use the GitHub discussion feature.
