Clarification required on update process for iOS and Android to avoid immediate updates

[barocsi]

Hello,

I have the following workflow:
compile www folder for android
do: cordova-hcp build
do: cordova build -- chcp-production --release
Android installed.
I upload the www folder with chcp.json to the application server
so when android app is started there is no problem.

But on iOS later, I do not cordova prepare -- chcp-production the above www folder with that chcp.json, but issue the same steps. But that will result a different chcp.json and the iOS app will think the server chcp.json and its local chcp.json is different and immediately updates the app.

What is the best workflow of avoiding immediate updates?

Thanks!

You can do the updates manually via JS API. Please, read more about this on the wikki page.

Also, don't forget to disable auto download and installation.

I think you already found out, that if release preference is different in server's and local chcp.json config - update will be downloaded to the app. This is because plugin doesn't compare release as "greater", it just check if it is different. There is a plan for improving that: #161
