One method I have seen used to force users to update to the latest version of a mobile app is always incrementing the version of the backend API with every release, and then deprecating the backend API for the previous version of the mobile app.
In most cases this can cause the app to stop working completely, so functionality could be built into the app to notify the user that support for the previous version of the app has been discontinued and that they need to upgrade.
