iVersion is a zero-config Objective-C library for iOS and Mac App Store apps that automatically checks for new app versions and alerts users with a link to the App Store. It also supports non-App-Store apps via a remote plist file and can inform users about new features after an update.
Use cases
- notify iOS app users when a new version is available on the App Store
- prompt Mac app users to download updates from the App Store
- check for updates in enterprise or non-App-Store apps using a remote plist
- show users release notes or new features after they update an app
- link users directly to the app's App Store download page from within the app
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS or Mac app that still needs App Store update notifications
- you distribute an in-house or enterprise app outside the App Store and need a simple remote version check
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the library is deprecated and will receive no fixes
- you need Swift-native or modern SDK support for current iOS/macOS versions
- you need guaranteed compatibility with the latest Apple App Store policies and APIs
