Hi! I see you’re trying to update the Squad Alpha app on your iPhone, but the App Store only shows the same version and won’t let you update. Let’s get this sorted out.

To start with, can you tell me if you are seeing any message within the game asking for an update? Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone or checking that your internet connection is stable? Sometimes, the App Store can temporarily not show an available update or glitches can cause this kind of issue.

Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step approach we can try:

1. Force close the App Store and reopen it: Sometimes the App Store needs to refresh to show the latest updates available.
- Swipe up from the bottom and pause (or double tap the home button if using one), then swipe the App Store off the screen.
- Open the App Store again and check the Updates tab.

2. Check for iOS updates: You are running iOS version 18.7, which is quite recent, so compatibility should not be an issue, but it’s good to ensure your system is fully updated.
- Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

3. Clear App Store cache: Tapping 10 times on any of the bottom tabs of the App Store (Today, Games, Apps, Search) can clear the cache and refresh content.

4. Sign out and back in to your Apple ID:
- Go to Settings > [your name] > Sign Out.
- Sign back in, then check if the update appears.

5. Delete and reinstall the app:
- If you don’t mind re-downloading and losing any locally stored progress (unless saved in cloud), delete the app and reinstall from the App Store.

6. Check for any announcements from the developer: Sometimes updates get delayed or paused on the App Store side, or might not be rolled out to all regions simultaneously.

If after these, the update still doesn't show or you can’t update to a newer version, it may be that the updated version is not yet released on the App Store or there could be a server-side issue with the update rollout. There is some precedence of delays or rejections causing update availability issues.

Let me know what you’ve tried so far and if you want me to walk you through any of these steps! I’m here to help.
