iOS Question AppStore udates vs GooglePlay updates

[Tomas Petrus]

Hi guys,
I have question regarding AppStore updates.

Google push Android updates to your device automaticaly only if you enabled auto updates.
so thats why we implemented appUpdate lib so we can check versions and notify users when they have obsolete version a we link them to market to do update manualy.

How it works wih iOS apps in AppStore ?
is this also neccesary ? or Aplle handle updates better ?

Thanks

It depends on the user settings. By default updates are installed automatically.

You can see it under Settings - iTunes & App Stores.

well that seems that it work like on GPlay..
I do not have control over users devices and I dont want them to use old version of app at least without notification that they are using an old app and that they should update.

So at least I should put somewhere txt file with version and checkit on appstart and notify user if he have old version ?
Right ?

There is no right or wrong here.
