In Flutter how can I manage versions and send updates or patches for android application and force users to update. I also want to stop users how haven't updated. My approach would be checking the version at very first page of the application and display an alert? Is that the way?

Sounds pretty ugly. It might take a few days for updates to file down. you can check the current installed version here pub.dartlang.org/packages/package_info

Flutter (more precisely Dart) is not different from a java application on that point, and there are multiple solutions we can imagine. Here are a few of them :
- You can call the play store and parse the result to get the current
version of you application and display a message to the user
preventing him to use his version of the app (subject to changes and not easy to follow) - You can also use your own server and enable your app to read the
current version from there. - If your application does some calls to an API that you manage, you can include the app
version in each call and return a special error code to the application if the version
is outdated

Normally this is handled by the Google Play Services by just updating your app into the Google Play Console following some rules. I have never forced a user to update to a greater version but updates are downloaded in background after a new release is available.
Read the following article from Google support team, I think it may be helpful for you:
