You can do anything the other answerers suggested, or just check for a certain file (call it firstrun.txt) under app “Documents” directory to exist at startup.
If it doesn’t exist, show the welcome message and create it, otherwise, do nothing. When the user updates the app, the “Documents” directory doesn’t get emptied.
That’s it.
