Log in into your Moodle site as Admin

Go to Site administration > Mobile app > Mobile authentication and set a value like "3.8.0" to the "Minimum app version required " setting

Now, open a Terminal/Console and execute the following curl command (replacing the site URL with yours)

curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_master/lib/ajax/service.php' --data-binary '[\{"index":0,"methodname":"tool_mobile_get_public_config","args":{}}]' | python -m "json.tool"

Confirm that:

In the command response you see the following: "tool_mobile_minimumversion": "3.8.0"

tool_mobile_iosappid is set to 633359593

tool_mobile_androidappid is set to com.moodle.moodlemobile

tool_mobile_setuplink is set to https://download.moodle.org/mobile

Now, reset the "Minimum app version required" setting (leave it empty)

Execute again the CURL request

Confirm that:

In the command response you see the following: "tool_mobile_minimumversion": ""

Description

A new setting for allowing a site admin indicates the minimum app version to access the site would be useful in the following scenarios:

Encouraging users to upgrade always their Moodle apps
Avoid users accessing with very old versions of the app where certain functionalities are not implemented
Block app versions with security issues

Please, note that this new setting will require the Moodle app version 3.8.0 to work, so it won't work for previous app versions

Apart from the new setting, we'd need to also return the current apps ids and app download page. This is necessary to be able to display an "Upgrade" link in the app that will automatically open "Google Play" or the "App Store"
