Once your new build is live, users will be able to see your new app once they update it on their Android devices.

{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/JmWIf9LI4ZtL0qFsG80p" %}
[Submit new iOS version](/app/upload/ios/submit-new-ios-version.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

* Your app users will be able to see your new app once they update it on their iOS devices.&#x20;
