Android app force update

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 149 views

There are apps that do not implement the forced update of Android apps.

1.0.0 <No forced update check logic

1.1.0 < When the app starts, read a file with version information from the CDN to check for forced updates.

In this situation, is there a way to force users who have version 1.0.0 to update?

For example, you can set it as a version that needs to be forcibly updated while uploading an app on Google Developer Console.

Please answer if there is a way.

There is no way to force an Android app to be updated. Google Developer Console doesn't have that function either. If the user has enabled automatic updating for that app, it will be updated in the background, but if not, the user will need to update directly from the Play Store. (Note, even if automatic updating is enabled, if a new permission group is added to the app, it will not be updated automatically.))

When you send a push or launch an app, it would be a good alternative to update the new version and move it to the Play Store. This method must also be pre-worked for control by the server.
