Hello list,
I had written this type of email before to this list, to see how this could be done, but without any responce.
I was wondering how can I have my AppleScript app check for it's updates if they become available?
I host a DMG file containing the new version of the app. The server also hosts an MD5 text file containing the new MD5checksom. The update handler should check a text file containing the new version number (e.g., 2.0.2). The version 2.0.2 would mean that there's a new version of the app available.
The update check should alert the user that it's checking for updates, perform the check. Then if there's a new version of the app, it should download the new version, quit the old version of the app, install the new version, then start the new app.
If there were any temporary files from the older app version, it should clean them up and then start the new application version.
