You can get the information you want through this link(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/version-tracking), and there is a video that explains in detail how to control the version number. It is better to judge the version update inside the program.

What I do is I have my app send a GET request to my API at launch, which then scrapes and returns the version on the store. I then compare it to:
AppInfo.VersionString
If the store version is higher than the VersionString, I prevent the app from being used, forcing the user to update.
Resource wise, it may be wiser to hardcode the latest store version in the API instead of having the API reach out to find it.
