Even more amazing are the apps that require updates to run, yet they fail to display any meaningful 'you should update' message; instead, they abruptly crash with a catch () {throw new Exception("An error occurred");}.

That's completely un-amazing. If the ecosystem ensures 99.9% of your users are on the latest version, I wouldn't waste bandwidth on defensive programming for the 0.01%.
