Is it possible to implement a true in-app update (no App Store redirect) on iOS in FlutterFlow?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a FlutterFlow app where the client requirement is to update the app directly inside the app, without redirecting the user to the App Store.

On Android, we’ve implemented in_app_update using a custom action, which works perfectly using Play Core’s immediate update feature.

:red_exclamation_mark:However, we’re stuck on iOS. The client does not want to redirect the user to the App Store. Instead, they want:

  • A popup to appear when an update is available.
  • A button to update inside the app.
  • A loader during update.
  • Auto-close when done — all without leaving the app.

We understand Apple restricts in-app installation, but is there any workaround, custom API, or solution within FlutterFlow or native Swift integration that can help with this?

Any help, advice, or experience would be greatly appreciated :folded_hands:
