Introducing Custom Attributes - Unlocking new use-cases and possibilities

We are thrilled to announce the release of Custom Attributes in App Upgrade. This will unlock new use-cases and possibilities. You can now define, experiment and target specific versions for update based on custom attributes that are unique and suited for your business use-case.

This is more than just a new feature; it represents a fundamental advancement in the way we update our apps. Through custom attributes, we've elevated the very essence of our mission—to empower all teams to effectively deliver, innovate, and update their apps.

Next Level Unlocked.

Beyond updating your apps with default attributes like app version and app platform, we are unlocking the next level of app updates. Now you can define arbitrary custom attributes and update your apps based on those attributes.

What are Custom Attributes?

Instead of introducing new fields, for example updating by Android version or build number, we decided to create a generic solution that is scalable and can adapt to our customers' diverse use cases and needs. App Upgrade now allows you to target apps for update based on arbitrary custom attributes, which means you can control who gets an 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:

• Targeting app versions based on Android or iOS platform version.

  As mobile operating systems evolve, older versions may no longer support certain libraries or internal tools, which can impact the functionality of an app. In a scenario like this, you can choose to update apps that are running on older Android/iOS platform versions.

• Targeting app versions based on country.

  If you want to update app versions that are running in a specific country due to regulatory changes, you can do this now. Instead of updating all app versions, you can choose to update only the app versions from that country.

• Targeting app versions based on user group such as beta, premium.

  If you have a bug that affects only certain user groups, such as premium users, and you have launched a new version with fixes, you can update apps for only that user group using custom attributes.

... and many more use-cases and possibilities.

We’re so excited to see how you use custom attributes! This is version update without limits. You can check out the detailed tutorial on how to use Custom Attributes from our Documentation.
