iTunesStore not showing update button for app

We have implemented Force Update Functionality inside our App.

And it’s working fine and showing Update alert in my App.

On clicking update i am opening the following url:

var strAppstoreLink = itms://itunes.apple.com/za/app/<My_App_Name>/<My_App_ID>?mt=8

using following code:

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string:strAppstoreLink)!)

it opens and redirects to app redirects to iTunesStore

Snap of iTunesStore opened.

snap of iTunesStore opened

But it shows the Button text as OPEN not UPDATE.

but at same time when i open AppStore on the same phone at same time.

Snap of AppStore opened

Snap of AppStore opened

It shows the Button text as UPDATE.

Does anyone have an idea regarding same.

Why can't I update apps on my iPhone because of iTunes?

If your iPhone apps won't update, make sure that you're connected to Wi-Fi and logged into your Apple ID. You can also turn automatic app updates off through the Settings app.

Why can't I update apps in the App Store?

If you can't update apps, check that you're using the right Apple ID. When you download an app, it's tied to the Apple ID you used when you downloaded it. That means that you need to be logged into that original Apple ID to use the app on your iPhone.

Can you update an app through iTunes?

The iPhone lets you update apps you use for your business on the device via Wi-Fi or a cell phone carrier, but you can also update them via the iTunes software on your office computer.

Updating the url as following worked for me.

Changed

itms://itunes.apple.com/za/app/<My_App_Name>/<My_App_ID>?mt=8

To

https://itunes.apple.com/za/app/<My_App_Name>/<My_App_ID>?mt=8
