iOS app update notification

How does the iOS app update mechanism work? How to tell user that application on Appstore has been updated?Do i have to write the functionality in the code to show the update popover or is it handled by Appstore to show notification to user that app has been updated. Is there any documentation provided by apple for this?

You can use Harpy : this module trigger a UIAlertView when a new version of your app is available on the App Store.

Harpy is now depricated.Siren was ported from Harpy, as Siren and Harpy are maintained by the same developer. As of December 2018, Harpy has been deprecated in favor of Siren.
