Issue
I have an app that check the version in-app. If we deploy a new app together with the backend, the app will announce that the user is using the old version of the app, and redirect to google play to update the new released version. Hence they cannot use the app
But the problem occurs when Google Play not showing the latest version unless I clear the cache of google play.
Is there any way I can make google display the new version when redirecting to Google Play (by adding a query flags into the Google Play url or something like that to make Google Play show the latest version?)
Having the users waiting until Google Play show the correct version is not a good practice, as they can't use the app in the mean time. But guiding them to clear google play cache maybe a problem with elderly or non-tech users.
Thank you guys for your time.
Solution
Use Android In-app updates it will update the app from within the app without going to Google Play store
