iOS Cordova App not showing version updates available

Currently when making a new release android customers are given a notification that a new version of the is available for download.

I have searched for solutions on here (stackoverflow) but the only related answers are for apps developed in xcode.

How can I notify customers when releasing a new version of the app to itunes?

You could store the current app version in your database and use appVersion plugin to get the installed version on the device. Then you can compare the versions (on start-up e.g.) and notify the user somehow that there is a new version available. You can even provide add link to your app in App Store.

I'm using this plugin: https://github.com/WellBload/cordova-plugin-app-version/blob/4234061/README.md

It does require some maintenance because you have to update your database every time the update has been released. The choice is yours.
