Answer 1

I tried most of the thing to fix this nicely and I and happy to see detailed description for doing everything that I needed react-native-version-check

import { Linking } from 'react-native';
import VersionCheck from 'react-native-version-check';

VersionCheck.needUpdate()
  .then(async res => {
    console.log(res.isNeeded);    // true
    if (res.isNeeded) {
      Linking.openURL(await VersionCheck.getStoreUrl());  // open store if update is needed.
    }
  });
