force-update

An iOS force update system blocks app usage by comparing the installed version against a required minimum. This Skill provides that enforcement logic, parsing semantic versions and coordinating UI checks to restrict access when a critical update is required.

A hard block prevents app access entirely until the user updates, while a soft prompt shows a dismissible update recommendation. This Skill implements both flows, letting you enforce mandatory compliance or suggest optional updates through a configurable interface.

You can check the App Store for the latest version using App Store lookup support. This Skill uses that lookup data or remote JSON config to determine minimum and recommended versions, providing the App Store URL to redirect users to the update.

Yes, you can use a remote JSON config to manage recommended update versions. This Skill supports remote configuration checks to determine minimum and recommended versions, allowing you to dynamically control update flows without hardcoding values.

To add an update check to your app startup, integrate the update manager and trigger a version check on launch. This Skill exposes an observable manager that coordinates checks, skip logic, and UI integrations to verify version compliance during startup.
