Is there any way to make user forced update?

Hi I'm planning to make macos App and distribute to MacOS App Store. The question is should i make force update when update is needed. The reason why I want to make this feature is I don't want to make user use previous version of app.

My plan is like this. when app needed update, make user reach special page that describe why update is needed and set a button that can download new version of app. the download will be automatically doing at background don't need to visit app store.

I search several forums and gpt but there is no positive reply of this.. so finally i make a post to know is there no way to make this.

Thank you!

As far as we're aware, a user must opt into a Mac App Store app update.

That said, you would need to build such an update feature yourself i.e. the app checks for the latest version on launch and then takes action accordingly e.g. opens the App Store page for the app. Still though, the user must opt into any update.

Enterprise apps are different but I don't think you're discussing those.
