How to force users to update mobile apps?

Good morning! I wanted to know if there is any way to force users to update the mobile applications as soon as there is a new update either by taking them to the playstore or directly in the application, and how it can be configured. From already thank you very much!

Same here. Anyone please help

You can't do it in an already published app, of course. But you can include this feature into a new version.

For example, when your game starts, you can send an AJAX request to your server. This can be a simple text file, which contains the latest published version. And then if the current app version is lower than the version received from AJAX, display a message to the player asking to update the game.

Many thanks! I am going to put two variables (one with the previous version and the other that when starting the game looks for the current version on the server) and if they are different I am going to make a poster appear that requires updating and that takes them to the playstore. For those who do not know how to do it, I leave this excellent example of rafaeltrigo : https://www.construct.net/en/tutorials/check-game-online-offline-2565

Thank you very much for responding. Regards!

I haven't tested it yet but my plan was to do like Dop says but instead of Ajax check if local storage "Version Number" exist

If not you know its first time he plays the Game

Else >>> Check the version number saved on local storage against the version that is about to play if it's lower then Update the Game and save the new version back to the Key "Version Number" into local Storage.

Also when the update is available then remove the Button Play and show just the Button Update so there is no other option other than the Update, is like forcing it no choice.

I saw many Games doing it and that's the model I would love to follow.

Due to people researching for this subject I decided to make an especific example
