This static method can be called when you are interested in getting the most latest version of a catalog when initializing the HERE SDK with SDKOptions where you can specify the catalog(s) you want to use.

In effect, this will auto-update the cached map data on each start, if possible. Use this only when you have no installed Regions. Since this affects only the map data cache, calling this at initialization time has no or only a very limited effect on the start-up time.

In order to auto-update cached OCM-based map data, such as for the Navigate Edition, use the default HRN value: "hrn:here:data::olp-here:ocm" in your DesiredCatalog. Note that the Explore Edition cannot be used with such settings and the initialization of the HERE SDK may fail - since these editions are based on a different map format.

• ignoreCachedData A flag to specify handling of any cached data present on a device when trying to update the map version. If set to true, the HERE SDK will auto-update to the latest catalog version when no installed Regions are present. If present, this call will have no effect - use updateCatalog() via MapUpdater instead to update all map data to the latest version. Note that cached data present on a device - for example, data in the map cache or data cached by PrefetchAroundLocationWithRadius or PrefetchAroundRouteOnIntervals - will be become obsolete if a newer map version is available. Such data will be evicted using a LRU strategy over time. If set to false, the HERE SDK will auto-update to use the latest version, only when there is no cached map data at all (for example, at first install or after clearing the cache) and no installed map data. Otherwise, this call will have no effect.

Returns CatalogVersionHint. Instance of CatalogVersionHint.
