Description
Feature Description
We should check stores if there’s a newer version of the app on app boot
Motivation and Use Case

Keeping the app up-to-date is very important to increase the perception of quality.
Implementation Ideas

Research direction
Start by reviewing the app boot flow and the proposed sp-react-native-in-app-updates library. Determine how store checks should behave on supported mobile platforms and how a newer version should be presented to users. Done means the app checks for updates at boot and provides an agreed update experience.
