Plugin details

Bubble Native Force Update Mobile is a powerful and reliable client-side plugin designed specifically for mobile wrapper environments (such as BDK Native, BubbleGo, or custom wrappers). It allows you to enforce app updates by comparing the currently running build version against a minimum required version.
Key Features:
- **Native Block Modal**: Automatically displays a beautiful, iOS/Android native-styled overlay modal when an outdated application version is detected.
- **Hard & Soft Blocks**: Easily configure a "Hard Block" (forcing the user to update by removing the dismiss option and intercepting the Android back button) or a "Soft Block" (allowing them to select "Remind me later").
- **Customizable UI**: Fully configure the modal's Title, Message, and Primary Action Button text directly from the element properties.
- **App Store & Play Store Redirects**: Seamlessly open deep links to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store using React Native's Linking API, with robust fallback mechanisms for Android 11+ (API 30+).
- **Over-The-Air (OTA) Support**: Compares editor OTA versions and provides a workflow action to trigger immediate React Native bundle reloads (expo-updates).
- **Exposed States & Events**: Triggers update_detected event when a version mismatch is found, and exposes boolean states (is_outdated_build and is_outdated_ota) for custom in-app workflow logic.
- **Graceful Web Fallback**: Includes safety safeguards that prevent crashes when running in desktop browsers or standard mobile web editors.
