I've got an iOS app. Currently it's being distributed to tester users. I'm about ready to publish the app to the Appstore. I'm interested in a case where there is a newer version of the app in the Appstore.
Does hockeyapp have any built-in functionality to prompt the user to update the application, and prevent him from using it until updated?
check
BITStoreUpdateManager
The store update manager module.
This is the HockeySDK module for handling app updates when having your app released in the App Store.
By default the module uses the current users locale to define the app store to check for updates. You
can modify this using the `countryCode` property. See the property documentation for details on its usage.
When an update is detected, this module will show an alert asking the user if he/she wants to update or
ignore this version. If update was chosen, it will open the apps page in the app store app.
You need to enable this module using `[BITHockeyManager enableStoreUpdateManager]` if you want to use this
feature. By default this module is disabled!
When this module is enabled and **NOT** running in an App Store build/environment, it won't do any checks!
The `BITStoreUpdateManagerDelegate` protocol informs the app about new detected app versions.
@warning This module can **NOT** check if the current device and OS version match the minimum requirements of
the new app version!
