Answer 1

You can easily ask the App Store to return your application info:

e.g. https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=441252681

In the json response, the "info" field is what you're looking for, and you get it updated for free!

See the official documentation here.

Just use ATAppUpdater, it is 1 line, thread-safe and fast. It also have delegate methods if you would like to track user action. Here is an example:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [[ATAppUpdater sharedUpdater] showUpdateWithConfirmation]; // 1 line of code
    /////////////////////// OR ///////////////////////
    [[ATAppUpdater sharedUpdater] showUpdateWithForce]; // 1 line of code

   return YES;
}

Delegate methods:

- (void)appUpdaterDidShowUpdateDialog;
- (void)appUpdaterUserDidLaunchAppStore;
- (void)appUpdaterUserDidCancel;
