Best Practices for Managing SDK Versions in Mobile Apps

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some guidance on implementing a phased rollout strategy for SDK versions in our mobile applications (iOS and Android). Our goal is to selectively enable a new version based on feature flags, allowing us to control which users get access to the latest features. Additionally, we want to be able to roll back to a previous version seamlessly without requiring additional deployments or releases.

Here are the key requirements I’m considering:

Feature Flag Management: We need a robust system to manage feature flags that can toggle between different SDK versions dynamically.

Seamless Rollback: The solution should allow us to revert to a previous SDK version instantly if we encounter issues, without needing a full redeployment.

Version Compatibility: Ideally, the different SDK versions should be compatible to minimize integration issues.

Monitoring and Logging: We’d like to implement some monitoring to track performance and user feedback on both versions.

Has anyone implemented a similar strategy in mobile apps? What tools or frameworks have you found helpful? Any advice on best practices for this kind of phased rollout would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your insights!
