In the current system if we install app ,on every update we have to install again.
Hello @Sahad_S. Welcome to the NotionApps community. You can also get the new version by just killing and relaunching the app.
This request is covered by a workaround, and it is on the roadmap as live.
Problem
After an app is installed on a phone’s home screen, a new published version looks like it requires another install. The request is a button inside the app that installs the update.
Why this is a workaround
The installed app updates without a reinstall, and without an in-app install button. Closing and reopening the app loads the new version. Leaving it in the background long enough does the same. Uninstalling is only the last resort. The button would repeat a refresh the app already does.
How to use it
- Publish the new version from the builder as you already do.
- On the phone, if the app is open, close it. On iPhone, swipe it away from the app switcher. On Android, close it from the recent-apps view.
- Open the app again from the home screen. This launch picks up the published version.
- Another path that does not need a full close: open the app, send it to the background for more than 60 minutes, then open it again. The new version is detected when the app goes to the background, and it loads on the next open.
- Ask the person to finish what they are doing before they close the app. The update is meant not to interrupt an open task, which is why it waits for a background or a relaunch rather than swapping the app under them.
- Uninstall and add to the home screen again only if a close and reopen still shows the old version after you have confirmed the new version is published.
- Adding to the home screen is the install. A later publish does not mean they remove the icon and add it again.
Tell people this in the release note you send them: close the app and open it again. Do not tell them to reinstall for an ordinary publish.
