Hi,

In order to force upgrade the user to latest version, I want to know current latest version of app. As of now, I am keeping latest app version in my server and checking against app version on launch.

But, here each time I need to update the server to latest app version for Android & iOS. Is it possible to get this version directly from play store & app store? I researched, but didn't get proper info.

I don't think so, but you can use IBM Mobile First (Worklight) which has this feature if I remember correctly, but it would be a really really overkill...

Also, it's possible to read the stores html and parse it, but I believe that your approach is the best and easy one.
