This is a really good question!
One thing to note is that most LiveCloud updates won't stop clients from communicating to the servers.
We try our best to not push any disruptive updates to the servers.
In a lot of the cases, even when we update the servers and LiveCloud Manager, your app can still talk to the servers without any problem despite having an older version of LiveCloud.
However, it is much trickier for the case that an update will break the communication between client and server. We had some discussions internally about this problem. We are planning to notify the community and give the developers time to update their apps before we update the servers. We will try to minimize the friction for updating the libraries.
It is a great idea for getting the update of the libraries programmatically. We will have a discussion and talk about the viability of it.
Currently, you just have to update the libraries manually and resubmit it to the appstore.
