Check Ionic App new version

Hi
I am looking for a way to show the user an Ionic popup if there is a new version of an Ionic app.

I will use http.post inside app.js .run section and trigger an ionic poup if there is a new version .

What i am confuse about, is how can i read a file that indicate a new version, can config.xml file provide this information ? into version atribute or id atribute of the widget xml markup ?

//Verify new version and trigger a warning
$http.post("http://www.somedomain.com/verifyVersion.php")
  .success( function(data) {
      console.log(' success data '+data);
      actualAppversion = somewhere(); //TODO: define a service that retrieve the actual version
      $scope.appVersionActual = actualAppversion;
      $scope.appNewVersion  = data;
      if($scope.appNewVersion!= $scope.appVersionActual){
        $ionicPopup.confirm({title: "You have an old version",content: "A new version is available."})
      }
})
.error(function(error){
  console.log('Had an error'+error);
})
