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?
Open the App Store. Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen. Scroll to see pending updates and release notes. Tap Update next to an app to update only that app, or tap Update All.
If you seriously want to make a notification from your app to ask them to update (so that everyone gets the notification, whatever their Google play settings are, then you will have to make a web service which returns the number of the newest version. You can then compare that inside your app and post a notification.
You can fix an iPhone that's not getting notifications by restarting it or making sure notifications are turned on. You should also make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet so apps can receive notifications. If all else fails, you should try resetting the iPhone — just make sure to back it up first.
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.
