Since our last update, dated February 8, 2021, for two of our channels we face the problem that clients don't get the update. Many days have past, many 'check for update', the old version is still showing.
In the portal the new version and the last update date are showing.
We have tried again all the following: a) uploading a new package (only manifest change), b) setting a higher version in the portal during
package upload, c) setting higher version of minimum firmware (we set that to v8.2 b1), without any luck. We check with clients with v9.4.0.
What may be the problem? Is it in Roku portal or are we doing something wrong? Where can we find information on what may be happening?
Thank you
re-post this over in the developer forum:

FYI, sometimes the app appears not to have updated, until the app is opened/loaded, at which point the external/UI version etc info correctly updates.
The developer's forum is definitely where this belongs, but find out the model numbers of the users' devices that aren't getting the update. I don't know, but I believe the older models won't receive updates of any kind - firmware or channels. I don't know if Roku has stated that clearly anywhere.
Thank you. I followed your advice and posted on the provided link.
Entering the application doesn't help, nothing changes, still stuck in old version.
Unfortunately, no user devices get the update. Thank you.
Just make sure you continue this over in the developers' forum - and as @renojim indicated, if its only certain models (as opposed to all devices) that aren't updating, find out which models arent updating.
