iOS : bad version comparison ?

[jdupuis]

Error

It's not really an error (the app not crashed) but the plugin tell me that an update exists on the App Store, but it's not the case.

Am I the only one to notice this? Thanks for your help !

Context

I already have my app on the App Store with 2.3.1 as version name and 40 as bundle version.

I created a new version of the same app : 2.4.0 as version name and 42 as bundle version.

When I launched the app, the plugin detect the good versions (2.3.1 on the Play Store, 2.4.0 for the current version) but say me that an update is required despite the fact that the current version is superior to the version on the store.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Already have an app ont the App Store
2. Create a new version of the ios app with the cordova-plugin-native-app-update
3. launch the app and look what the plugin returns.
4. In my case, appUpdateObj.update_available is true even if the new version name is not inferior of the version on the app store.

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 2.0.0
• Platform: iOS
• OS version: tested on iOS 16 & 17
• Device manufacturer / model: iPhone SE (3rd generation)
• Cordova version (cordova -v): 12.0.0
• Cordova platform version (cordova platform ls): 7.0.1 (I also tested on version 6.3.0 of iOS Cordova platform version)

@jdupuis Did you ever find any solution to this issue? I'm seeing the same thing specifically with iOS. No problems on Android

My App currently has version 4.41.1 listed on the app store. And I'm testing version 4.43.0 which has not been released yet. However the plugin is telling me there's an update available, I assume because the current app version doesn't match.

I saw this log in the console when Running in Xcode CDVAppUpdate Need to update [4.41.1 != 4.43.0]
