You could also use OFSoftwareUpdateChecker in OmniFoundation (and the
corresponding UI code which calls it in OmniAppKit), which has all this
stuff written for you. Or at least you might examine that code in order
to avoid the problem of hanging while checking for updates when the
user doesn't have an active internet connection. (Which is the primary
drawback of using the simple +dictionaryWithContentsOfURL: as in the
tutorial linked below.)
Hope this helps,

If your question is regarding how to get the update information from
the internet, you could probably start by putting the names, versions,
and download URLs into a plist file somewhere on the web. Then I'd
make your program download that plist file and go from there. If you
need to you can put the downloaded info in a view where the user can
pick the updates he wants. It depends on what your program is trying
to accomplish.
The bottom line is, the plist file is a place to start. Once you have
all the information downloaded from that particular file, you can use
it in any way you want.
Take a look at this tutorial on cocoadevcentral.com:
