Ordering.co Feature: Update Native Apps

Written by Ordering | Jan 20, 2023 6:30:16 PM

As the owner of an online ordering business, you know the importance of keeping your app up-to-date with the latest features and functionality. 

However, getting users to actually update their app can be a challenge. That's why the "force update" feature in React Native is such a valuable tool included at Ordering.co

React Native is a popular framework for building cross-platform mobile apps, and it includes a feature that allows you to force users to update the app to the latest version before they can continue using it.

This can be especially useful if you've just released a major update that includes important bug fixes or new features.

To use the force update feature in React Native, you'll need to use the Linking module. This module allows you to open external URLs, such as a link to the latest version of your app on the App Store or Google Play.

Giving your customers an updated app all the time is important for several reasons:

Bug fixes: An updated app means that any bugs or glitches that were present in the previous version have been fixed, providing a smoother and more enjoyable user experience.

Security: Regular updates often include security patches to protect against potential vulnerabilities or hacks. This is especially important if your app handles sensitive information, such as personal or financial data.
