Updated app, still, old version is downloaded from the App Store

Something strange happened to me. I updated my app and it was approved. When I downloaded it I was shocked to see that it was the old app. Not the updated one. The improvements were countless.. so I could tell the difference between the old app and the update done. I also didn't drink anything. How could this happen? Have you encounter this before?

Why won't my apps finish installing on new iPhone?

A lot of the time when apps are stuck waiting or not downloading on your iPhone, there's an issue with your Apple ID. Every app on your iPhone is linked to a specific Apple ID. If there's an issue with that Apple ID, apps may get stuck. Usually, signing out and back into the App Store will fix the problem.

Why are my apps not updating?

Step 1: Open the Google Play Store on your Android and tap on the profile menu at the top. Step 2: Go to Settings and open the Network preferences tab. Step 3: Select Auto-update apps. Step 4: Tap on Over Wi-Fi only or Over any network (if you are comfortable auto-updating apps on a mobile network).

It may take up to a few hours for AppStore to display a newly approved app.

I have encountered this bug. I believe it is App Store bug.

This is a workaround solution to the bug. To download the real/correct version, go to App Store > Updates tab > select your app and update.

I also just encountered this bug.

Just received the standard app status "ready for sale" approval notice from Apple about an hour and a half ago. I didn't have the app on my iPhone 4, went to the app store to download the new version, and received the old version instead. All the meta-data was updated with the new release information.

As samwize mentions in the above post, the new version was available by going to App Store > Updates tab > select app and update.
