I'm currently trying to write a framework that is self-updating.
When a

there's an update available, and subsequently download that update and
replace itself and then continue with the operating that was
originally
called. I'm not opposed to trying a different format (for example,
using
a static and dynamic libraries), but I'm not entirely sure how to
approach this. This bundle/framework/library will require loading an
objective-C class (at least indirectly, as it relies on WebKit). Has
anyone run into this before? Even having a static stub that handles
downloading and updating the bundle before it gets loaded would
work...but that seems a bit unwieldy. Anyone else have any ideas on
how
to accomplish this?
Well, I once wrote a wrapper around rsync that took care of the
updating part. I wouldn't install the update without user consent,
though.
