Hey @adamjnav Thanks for reply.

force update :- It means when user came back in Expo app (Login Screen) then if App update is available on play store OR App store then Download it automatically in Background.

Step 1 :- Nothing Happened.

Code :-

//function for checking update is available or not 
  async getOTAUpdates(){
    try {
      const update = await Expo.Updates.checkForUpdateAsync();
      if (update.isAvailable) {
        await Expo.Updates.fetchUpdateAsync();
        // ... notify user of update ...
        Expo.Updates.reloadFromCache();
      }
    } catch (error) {
      // handle or log error
      Alert.alert('Some error Occured' + error);
    }
  }

Hey @biplov14,

What do you have under your updates field in app.json?

Hey @adamjnav

updates field in app.json :-

{
  "updates": {
    "enabled": true,
    "checkAutomatically": "ON_LOAD",
  }
}

Hey @biplov14,

Just to cover all possibilities, are you sure you have an update available? Also, if you are using release channels, can you make sure you’re publishing to the channel that you app is running? When running in the expo client, the one that is used by default is the default channel.

Cheers,
