App Updates

When an app publisher releases a new version of an app, IronFlock notifies you and lets you update at your own pace. Updates are never applied automatically — you decide when to roll them out in your project.

How Updates Work

1. New version available — When the publisher releases a new version, a red badge appears on the app in your project, indicating an update is available.
2. Open App Settings — Go to Settings, scroll down to the app, and open App Settings.
3. Click Update — The update button applies the new version to all components of the app at once:
   • The board (user interface) is updated to the new layout and widgets.
   • The data structure is updated if the new version introduces schema changes.
   • The edge component on every device using the app is updated over the air.

After clicking update, devices that are online receive the new edge component immediately. Devices that are offline receive it the next time they connect.

Updating the Edge Component on a Single Device

If you want to update only one device instead of the entire app, you can do so from the device-level settings:

1. Go to Settings and open the app.
2. Select the specific device.
3. Click Update on that device’s edge component.

This updates only that device’s edge component without affecting the board, data structure, or other devices.
