Description

Soft and force upgrades don't seem to be working as expected, here are the details incase of:

Soft upgrade
  1. the register page shows a full-screen blocking error asking to upgrade the app
  2. the app doesn't allow login or forgot password flow
  3. the only way to log in is to enter the credentials, upon seeing the error killing the app and then reopening it
  4. the main dashboard with enrolled courses keeps on loading
  5. the upgrade option in the settings area sometimes shows that there is an update available, but in most cases it says the app is up-to-date.
Force upgrade
  1. in the logged-in experience the app doesn't show any indication for the user to upgrade the app, just says something went wrong
  2. in settings, the upgrade option only appears the first time the screen is opened, for subsequent times it says the app is up-to-date
