Updates
Will my app stop working if I don’t update it?
Your app will function indefinitely on the devices supported at time of launch. However, future iOS and Android releases, and new devices, often require your app to be updated to maintain compatibility. Your development team can maintain the source code provided as needed or you can subscribe to app updates from Median.
When do I need to update my app?
We recommend updating your app annually or coinciding with major iOS and Android releases and new device launches. With an active plan from Median updating to our latest source code is seamless and will ensure that your app will perform as expected for all of your users. As we are always optimizing app performance and adding new features you will gain the benefits of our ongoing improvements.
