### Installer Store

The `installerStore` property indicates which app store installed the application. This is useful for directing users to the appropriate store page for ratings or updates.

```dart
PackageInfo packageInfo = await PackageInfo.fromPlatform();
String? installerStore = packageInfo.installerStore;
```

#### iOS

On iOS, the `installerStore` value is determined by checking the app store receipt path:

| Environment | `installerStore` value |
|-------------|------------------------|
| App Store | `com.apple` |
| TestFlight | `com.apple.testflight` |
| Simulator | `com.apple.simulator` |

#### Android

On Android, the value is the package name of the app store that installed the application, obtained via `PackageManager.getInstallSourceInfo()` (Android 11+) or `PackageManager.getInstallerPackageName()` (older versions).

| Store | `installerStore` value |
|-------|------------------------|
| Google Play Store | `com.android.vending` |
| Amazon Appstore | `com.amazon.venezia` |
| Samsung Galaxy Store | `com.sec.android.app.samsungapps` |
| Huawei AppGallery | `com.huawei.appmarket` |
| Xiaomi GetApps | `com.xiaomi.mipicks` |
| OPPO App Market | `com.oppo.market` |
| VIVO App Store | `com.vivo.appstore` |
| Manual/ADB install | `null` |

**Note:** Some stores may not properly implement the installer package name API, which could result in `null` being returned even for store installations.

#### Other Platforms

On MacOS, Linux, Windows, and Web, `installerStore` returns `null`.
