Q: Podcast says it is version 2.4 (1125.29). But Appstore says the version is 2.3
Summary: The version info for the Apple Podcast app does not match what is in the App store. And I can't get the app to update as recommended by iTunes.
My Mac iTunes app is claiming there is an update to the iOS Podcast app. But when I go to update it, I get an error message that tells me that I have to update from the App Store on my iPhone.
When I pull up the Appstore on my iPhone, this app does not show up the Updates window. When I search for the Podcast app, it only gives me the option to go to the Podcast app.
In addition, the iTunes Update window claims that the version of Podcast that it wants to update is 2.3 updated on 2016-Jun-13 - 230KB. This is about when Podcast app started showing up in my Apps Update window. So that must be the current version.
When I go to the web version of the iTunes store, and I look at the Podcast app, it claims the version is 2.3, the same as what shows in the Mac iTunes app. Good.
But when I go to Settings >Podcast on my iphone, it claims my version is 2.4 (1125.29).
I have to conclude that I somehow have a different version of the Apple Podcast app that is on a different versioning.
So, I can't update. And I can't make sense of what is going on. Help!
