How can I implement a feature that forces the application to update by comparing versions? If the application has an older version, a message should be displayed to users prompting them to update the application.

Hi @Ritik_Dixit
Great question. This can be done in multiple ways.

But you need to consider the scenarios where the force update will work or not.

For example:

  1. First, do we need to force update configuration or reinstall the application?
  2. This can be understood by answering the question: Is it a non-breaking change or a breaking change?
  3. Does it impact existing data on mobile?
  4. If there is an impact, does the user need to re-login?

If you know the nature of the update and need to force an update of the app from the Play Store or the App Store, there is a task available in the task group called “Update app.” In this task, you can provide a BR rule to check the version number, and you can store the version number in your temporary object.

Sir could you please clarify whether the version (in update app task) to be added is an existing one or a new one?
