Beyond just updating your apps by default attributes like app version, app platform etc. We are unlocking next level when it's come to updating your apps. Now you can use any arbitary custom attributes that you can define and update your apps by those custom attributes.

What are Custom Attributes?

Instead of introduing new fields for example: update by android version or build number, we thought to come up with generic solution which is scalable and can adopt to our customer's diverse use cases and needs. App Upgrade now allows you to target app's for update based on arbitrary custom attributes, which means you can control who gets upgrade popup based on any criteria that you define and control.

Use Cases

Here’s how you can utilize custom attributes to update your apps:
