Hello all, Let's say I have an application hosted on GAE that publishes an API. This API is used by a desktop client application.
The API will obviously change over time forcing the client app users to upgrade their app. I would like the client app to know automatically that the API version has changed and ask the user to download the new version. I don't want to "check for update" when the application start but I want it to do it for every API call. The strategy I have in head so far would be to add a Version parameter to all API calls so the client would pass its current version to the API and that version number would be validated against the current API version. If the version don't match, an exception is thrown and the client app will ask the user to upgrade the app. Do you think this strategy is viable? What do you think are the pros and cons? Have you ever done something similar? Anything else to propose? Thank you very much!
