You’ll need a stored/cloud value in the app that you change each time you publish a new version of the app. You’ll also need a data base cell (e.g. Airtable) set to the newest version of the app. In your intro screen, check the values to see if they match:

When intro screen opens  
…If [newestVersionNumber cell] = stored versionNumber  
\_\_\_…navigate to main screen  
…else  
\_\_\_…navigate to Please Update screen
