hi,

i would like to check:

if a user downloaded my app, than i make some update to app, data etc., itunes will auto remind the user of the update through app store, and the user can update for free? or do i have to set such reminder in my application?

else, is there a way for me to send this notification?

thks

Yes, the phone notifies of app updates through the App Store app and app updates are free.

Alternatively, you can use push notifications to notify the user that a new version is available, or display an alert the next time they open the app.

To do the latter you can query the version of the app ([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleVersion"];) and compare it to a value provided by your web server.

No. This is done automatically by the App Store app.

Yes, updates are free.
