  • no need to show alert in your application if you are using paly store, play store automatic show alert to user when you put new version of your application – Bhunnu Baba Oct 20 '16 at 11:31

You can simply use GCM or FCM for all users. Send them the notification that the latest version of this app is available on app store.By doing this in one go you can tell all the users about new update.

There is no official API for that.

There are some solutions.

  1. You can try to parse the app's playstore detail page in the app and look for the version number then check it with the apps' version
  2. Implement a server side version check system where you can check if a new update is available.

And if you want force update show alert then...

Firstly get your current application version then call a api for compare it and in response you should put for update message if meassage get then you can show alert to user.
