Hi,

We have a mobile app for OpenEMR, for which we provide version updates when we make any change requests or add new feature to our application. But in some cases, the users do not update their app to the latest one. In that case, when the users perform some actions in the screens where changes have been made, most likely users land up in the error page or sometimes even their data is lost.

How shall we force users to update their app?

Note: When ever an update is available for the app, we provide message in their mobile.

Thanks

Hi,

Could place the least version of the app needed as a setting in version.php. Then the app could check this to ensure it’s compatible (if the app version is < the least version of the app setting in version.php, then die and tell the user to get most recent app).
