Hi guys,

I have a couple of questions to ask.

1. I have my app in apple store for downloading. Currently the version is 2.6, and my question is, is it possible to disable older versions (lower then 2.6) from working?

2. If it is not possible, will my app still working if i delete it from apple store (for users who has downloaded) ?

3. Or maybe changing of APP id/provisioning profile will disable the app?

If there any suggestions if none of abobe work?

Thanks.

Still no.

The best you can do it to update the app. Just remember that older versions of that app on older iOSs that can't be updated will still continue.

Good luck.

1.) No.

2.) Yes.

3.) The provisioning from you is removed by Apple before distribution in the store.

Check this link, it shows how to disable a version for download. In app Store connect, go to Pricing and Availability then "last compatible version settings"
