Update App
The easiest way to update your mobile app is to simply publish your changes in Hercules.
Make Your Changes
Update your app content, design, or functionality in Hercules.
Publish
Click “Publish” in the top right corner.
Refresh the App
Open your mobile app and refresh it (pull down to refresh, or close and reopen the app). Your
changes will appear immediately.
Use this for most updates. This is likely all you need. Since your app loads content from
Hercules, most updates are instant — no app store review required.
Update App on App Stores
You only need to do this if you’re changing your app’s metadata like the title, icon,
splash screen, or store listing. For content and functionality updates, follow the above
steps instead.
