Appstore shows Open instead of Update for a new version of the app

Hi,

I released a new version of my app today to appstore. We have force update feature in our app where we ask the user to forcely update new version from appstore if there is any. For that we are using this redirect url to open appstore from the app (itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/handlr/id982693806?mt=8)

When the user taps on the alert buttom, the appstore page opens the app for the new version with "Open" button instead of "Update". The metadata in the Appstore is for the latest version but the only problem is that the button says "Open". When the user taps on "Open" button, it opens the older version of the app installed in the device. In the old app, we show the alert to update the App. So the user is put in a infinite loop.


What could be the reaon for this issue and how to solve this?


Thanks,
