jamessmith89on VLC for iOS is back in App Store – not by VideoLAN

Will I need to delete 2.4.0 when the new version comes out, or will I be able to just update it as usual from the App store?

I'm not too sure what happened, the one in the link you posted is 2.3.0, and the one I got from the App store is 2.4.0

I have a copy of the original VLC App on my iPad, but since I've bought my new iPhone 6, and restored it from iCloud, the official VLC player was missing when the restore was completed, I'm guessing this us to do with it being pulled from the App store at the time.

To my surprise, I was looking at the purchased app section on the App store on my phone, and under the area where it lists Apps not on my iPhone I saw VLC Player, with the cloud button with a downwards arrow on it, so I quickly download it. Not too sure what happened, but I now have the official VLC app back on my iPhone.

It says the developer is VideoLAN and version 2.4.0 and not the one by Jiri Volek
