You need to have a WebService on your server (or something similar) that your app requests at startup, to know which is the latest version available. (If you don’t have a WS yet and really don’t want to implement one for that, you may also simply use an XML or text file that contains the version too)
Then compare this version retrieved from your server with the current version of the application, using
[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleVersion"].If they are different, you can display the alertview and redirect to
itms-apps://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftwareUpdate?id=[APPID]&mt=8(replacingAPPIDwith your iTunes Connect App ID), which is the link that will make your iPhone open the AppStore application directly on your application’s update page
