Replace Old IOS App

Hello IOS developers, can you help me with a doubt. we have a new IOS app, but we need the way to force our users to not use the old one, and download and use the new one. Anyone has experience about how to do this transition?

Many thanks in advance, Manu

I don't think there is a way to force user to the new version, unless if you planned for this in the old version (which I understand is not the case).

Even if you remove from the Appstore and create a totally new app (different name, different appID), users will still have the possibility to use it. Unless maybe if your app accesses your website and needs to get some date there ?

You can't

You have to implemented this functionality in code or using a package for example flutter has a “Upgrader” package which does this checking and allows you to keep showing a popup to force the user to update. But that will only apply to people who downloaded the app with the new code.

If users have V1 without the code , you cannot force them to go to V2, once you push the app for V2 with the code and the user gets that installed , then when you upload V3 users will be forced to update.

Hello Calma , is it possible forcing an update to download the new app?
