I assume that they call it from the executable itself.
Yes, that’s true. I’ve been saying this since yesterday (but maybe on another list, not sure):
Some apps embed either or both the appcast url and the release feed url in the binary. One example is DriveDx, but there are others that I’ve been told about but have not confirmed.
For those apps, the only way I know to check is to put the binary in a text editor or use the command line tool (requires Xcode command line tools to be installed) ‘strings’ and to grep/search for ‘appcast’.
All of the information I’ve collated from both this list and cocoa-dev iis in the blog post I linked to yesterday at:
