I would like to know, if there is some kind of "Intent" or something, to force the market to update a user-installed app programmatically. Personally, I assume this is a security risk, so I would guess there is no way, but maybe someone knows a workaround.

From a developer's point of view, I would like to force an update of my app whenever I think that a clean solution to a problem cannot be achieved by keeping the current version of the app.
An update is available for download and the user can choose to use the current app or update it from the App Store: An update is available for download. The user has to update the app and can no longer use the currently installed version. We force-update the app: Photo by Free-Photos on Pixabay.
The best way to handle the situation you describe is to notify users that a critical security bug fix has been released and that everybody should update the app. Show activity on this post. The only way to force a user to update to the latest version is to use a licensing schema.
The warnings will prevent you from using the application until you update it. This tool will help devs keep their apps safe by ensuring older versions aren’t used if there’s a known problem with that version.
I've had an app, post its version to a server and if didn't match the current version listed on the server, fires an intent that takes the user right to the market - can either allow them to cancel and continue, or stop them from using the app until they upgrade. I think it stopped them by bringing up a webview fullscreen to the market url and they can't hide it to access the app.
