[New Plugin] Force Update Mobile

Showcase
1

Hey everyone!

If you are building iOS and Android apps using Bubble’s Native Mobile builder or wrappers (like BDK or Natively), you’ve probably faced these painful issues:

  1. You deploy a database change or a critical fix, but users with the app active in the background keep running the cached JS bundle. Because mobile apps don’t show the “Reload” prompt like web apps, their actions fail silently.
  2. You submit a mandatory binary build to Apple App Store or Google Play Store, but you have no way to force users to update.

To solve this, I built the Bubble Native Force Update Mobile plugin.

Core Features:

  • :high_voltage: Force OTA Reloads: Instantly detects version mismatches between the running client and the live editor code, triggering an immediate soft reload.
  • :stop_sign: Hard Block & Store Redirects: Compares build numbers and blocks outdated apps with an unskippable modal, redirecting the user straight to the App Store or Google Play URL.
  • :mobile_phone: BubbleGo Compatibility: We implemented a smart Web Fallback so you can test all alerts, blocks, and redirects directly in the BubbleGo Companion app.

Stop database sync issues caused by outdated client bundles!
