Have you ever dealt with old app versions you no longer want to support but user won't upgrade?

KickIt is a service that helps with just that. This is something I started to work on because I encountered myself in this very same situation. I needed a mechanism where I could tell users "hey there's a new version of this app, and this version will no longer be supported", but it was too late because the app we wanted to do this with didn't ship with such capability. We could reach out via email, or via push notifications but there was no guarantee that users will eventually upgrade. KickIt acts as a hidden door upgrade mechanism where you tell it which app versions are to be upgraded and that way any user running that will be prompted to upgrade. It can even block the user from using the app if needed. This is something particularly useful for new app makers like the ones here on ProductHunt because most likely at some point in the growth of the apps there will be a case where this is gonna be needed. A few scenarios are newer OS systems are incompatible with certain libraries used internally in the mobile app, or because there is a back-end system update that needs to happen which requires users to bump to the latest version of the apps. Whatever the case may be, it is better to be prepared when the time comes, and seems like it is almost in every case, the time will come. Makers/creators please give it a try, I'd be more than happy to get feedback and answer questions and hopefully work together to make KickIt the best it can be.
