Auto update apps for iOS

Is there a way to implement automatic updates for the iPad application. I would like to be able to check the application for updates, and then update it. As far as I can tell, the app can get the update from the app store, but:

I would like the interface to be built into the application: the user just needs to click OK to start the update (all this time remains in the application)

Is this even possible?

You can display an update notification notification that is available in your application, and you can redirect the user to the AppStore, but the update can only be downloaded from the AppStore.

This will reinstall the new version of your application. Thus, you cannot remain in the application for updating (you need to go to the appStore and add the application to the application during the update).

Inside, you can only update some content for your application (do not add new native code), but not with a real update to the AppStore.

Apple does not allow applications to download, install, or execute code that is not included in the original application provided by Apple. Cannot automatically start updating the app store.

the best thing you can do is to determine if there is a new update in the application store, and then ask the user to install it by linking directly to the application page in the application store. They will need to click on the correct buttons to start the process.

Even if it was possible, Apple did not allow it. Your application will be rejected.

If you do not update the contents of your application, for example. culinary receipts.
