Check logic:

fun compareVersion (
  currentVersion: String = "0.0.0",
  currentStage: String = "stable",
  comparedVersion: String = "0.0.0",
  comparedStage: String = "stable"
) -> Int {
  /**
   * return -1 if the current version is newer (not released dev)
   * return 0 if the current version is same as newest
   * return 1 if the current version is older
   */
   /*...*/
}

val currentReleaseVersion = VersionUtil.getVersion()
val currentReleaseStage = VersionUtil.getProperty("stage")

if (stage == "stable") {
  val client = HttpClient(CIO)
  val response = try {
    client.get("https://api.github.com/repos/iXORTech/RemoteMC-Core/releases/latest") {
      method = HttpMethod.Get
    }.body<String>().toString() 
  } catch (e: ConnectException) {
    /*...*/
  }
  /*...*/
  val latestReleaseVersion = /*...*/
  compareVersion(
    currentVersion = currentReleaseVersion,
    comparedVersion = latestReleaseVersion
  )
} else if (stage.contains("dev") || stage.contains("alpha") || stage.contains("beta") || stage.contains("rc")) {
  val client = HttpClient(CIO)
  val response = try {
    client.get("https://api.github.com/repos/iXORTech/RemoteMC-Core/tags") {
      method = HttpMethod.Get
    }.body<String>().toString() 
  } catch (e: ConnectException) {
    /*...*/
  }
  /*...*/
  val latestReleaseVersion = /*...*/
  val latestReleaseStage = /*...*/
  compareVersion(
    currentVersion = currentReleaseVersion,
    currentStage = currentReleaseStage,
    comparedVersion = latestReleaseVersion,
    comparedStage = latestReleaseStage
  )
} else { /*...*/ }
