App Store not showing update button when new version is available

Question

I have released the update of iOS app on iTunes. It is available on App store but neither it is showing in 'updates' tab nor it is updating automatically. Finally i uninstalled the old version and installed the new version from the app store. This iOS app is developed in phonegap.

You should wait a few hours before a device finds the updated version of your approved application. The application update needs to be distributed to multiple servers dedicated to the App Store.

It is possible to manually check for updates on your device since iOS 11. Tap near the top of the screen near the ‘Updates’ text, then hold and pull down, then release.

Please note that you will not get the update automatically when you see a download button on your application page in the App Store. This means that the version on your device is signed with a different certificate than the released version in the App Store. Simply click on the download button to resolve this.

Hope this helps!
