Update prompt

The update prompt lets us tell users that they should update their app.

How it works

The app checks its version against a minimum version. 

If the app version is too old, a prompt will appear. The user can choose to update or wait.

If the user waits, the prompt is paused for a set time. During this time, the app will not check for new update prompts.

The minimum version and the delay time are set in Firebase Remote Config. They can be changed at any time and set separately for iOS and Android.

When it should be used?

Sparingly.

The update prompt interrupts the user. Use it only if the app version has serious problems that are fixed in newer versions.

Sometimes, some users wont able to update. These  users will get stuck seeing the update prompt over and over.
