For updation of your iOS App Once you submit a new version and is approved by Apple, your previous binary will no longer be available to the consumer, your latest binary will be the only version of the application available in the AppStore.

This means that new users will only download the latest version and existing users will got the notification for new updated version and they can skip versions when updating. Versions must be standalone and not "patches" for previous versions.

In Appliation there is no need to add any kind of code that tell user for updation.

if the existing user wants to clicks on the update does it reinstall the application ? — vinay, Apr 09 '13 at 11:32
