Detecting iPhone app version update?

Question

I\'d like to determine when new versions of my app are available on the Appstore and display some form of notification to the user when this happens - perhaps a UIAlertView

You could create your own out-of-band data based on RSS, like the Sparkle framework based on Mac. You'd need to maintain that feed yourself of course - any time an update is accepted, you would publish a new article to the feed.
