Update inhouse app ios best practice.

[MischaB]

we were wondering what the best way is to update a inhouse app for ios.
In the App settings do you replace the information to the new app?? or must you make a new App payload and setup the new one.
The App is automatically installed.

Our must i push the first app by automatically install and the update trough selfservice??

i don't know what the best and stable option is.
we are having a unstable situation now with the workflow we handle.

When we did this for a project, I would goto the app's configuration in the JSS and update the version number to the current version.

I'm unsure if there is any checking of the version number you set and the version number of the existing IPA on your file share. I only did it when we updated the IPA.

When I updated the version number after uploading the new IPA, after a few moments the iPad would notify you a new version was available and then the iPad would install it.

thnx @adamcodega for your input, we are doing this already.
i had some issues with the new versions that we must test before we roll out to all of the devices,
i though that we didn't update the app right, but we do it just like you describe.
We're cleaning the SQL database of the pending task. maybe here is the problem.
