yeah I actually wasn't sure what the best way to do this was. we can keep checking forever but at some point I don't want to keep making requests while the app is open. maybe can do an exponential backoff or something
gonna go with exponential backoff from 30mins with a limit of 24 hrs (so 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 24, 24 hrs...) instead. think that makes more sense and handles the case where the app is open forever since we just check once per day
Why
We want to check for updates on an interval (up til a certain point) instead of just once at startup in case users have the app open for a long time. Also, we should add the "Later" button back in case users want to defer updates. I only removed it a while back to make sure beta users were consistently updating their stale clients ASAP given how often we were making breaking changes but post-beta we don't want to force people to update every time since it can be disruptive.
Fixes WS-801 and WS-802
What changed
Check for updates on an interval, add "Later" button back
Test plan
Should see auto-update prompt a while after opening. should see "Later" button in resulting dialog
