What is the difference between a hard block and a soft prompt for iOS app updates?▼

A hard block for iOS app updates prevents app usage when the version is below a configured minimum, whereas a soft prompt displays a dismissible banner guiding users to update without restricting access.

Can I use App Store lookup to determine the minimum required app version?▼

Yes, you can use App Store lookup as the source of truth for your minimum required app version. The workflow includes an App Store redirect path to streamline the updating process for users with outdated builds.

How do I configure remote config for iOS app update enforcement?▼

To configure remote config for iOS app update enforcement, set up a remote JSON endpoint providing the semantic version model. The checker queries this endpoint to determine if the current version falls below the configured minimum threshold.
