SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates a robust system for managing application updates, ensuring users are running compatible versions by implementing mandatory update flows and optional prompts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Minimum Version Enforcement: Blocks app usage if a critical update is required.
  • Soft Update Prompts: Displays dismissible notifications for recommended updates.
  • App Store Redirection: Seamlessly directs users to the App Store for updates.
  • Flexible Update Sources: Supports remote configuration, App Store lookup, or Firebase Remote Config.
  • Use Case: Automatically prompt users to update to the latest version of your app to access new features or critical security patches, preventing them from using outdated, potentially insecure versions.

Quick Start

Add the force update modifier to your root view to automatically check for updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about force-update

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a mandatory app update in Swift for iOS and macOS?▼

To enforce a mandatory app update in Swift, you can implement a hard-block flow that prevents app usage until the user installs the required version. This system directs users to the App Store to resolve the block.

What is the difference between a hard-block and a soft-prompt update flow?▼

A hard-block update flow completely restricts access to the app until a critical update is installed, whereas a soft-prompt displays a dismissible notification recommending an update while allowing continued app usage.

Can I use App Store lookup to check the latest iOS app version remotely?▼

Yes, you can use App Store lookup to check the latest app version remotely. The system supports flexible update sources including remote configuration, App Store lookup, and Firebase Remote Config for version checks.

Does this force update system support modern Swift concurrency and Observable?▼

Yes, the force update system supports modern Swift concurrency and uses @Observable for state management. It is specifically designed for modern iOS and macOS development targeting iOS 16+ and macOS 13+.

How do I add a force update check to my root view in SwiftUI?▼

You can add a force update modifier to your root view to automatically check for updates. This modifier initializes the version enforcement system to manage hard-blocks, soft-prompts, and App Store redirection.
