I am trying to build one user app & one vendor app , so can these two be linked to each other ?
For example if the vendor updates their services I want the user to know the same or at least it should be get updated on the user app

Yes, you can have the same source table in both apps, so when one app writes to it, the update will be read by the other app.

Thank you for the help
However, isn't there a potential problem here? If both apps sync'd with the database now(), and then a user in the Vendor app edits say Columns 1 to 5 in a row in the table, and sync's the changes to the database, and let's say 15 minutes later (because the apps only sync themselves with the database every 30 minutes with the database if no changes are made locally) a user in the User app edits let's say only Column 6 of the same row, and then sync's to the database, the User App will rewrite that whole row in the database, having the original values for Columns 1 to 5 (from before the edits made in the Vendors App) because the User App has those values in it's local memory/cache.
