Hi,
I’ve been having a look around to find some information on
upgrading an app bundle when it is already open on the machine, but
haven’t really found anything.
I was wondering if it is best practice to check that any apps being
upgraded at install time are closed, and if not, quit the install /
close the open app? Has anybody else come across this, or do
something similar? Is it really necessary, or is it overkill?
I guess it wouldn’t be too difficult to do in a preflight or
preinstall script, but more to the point, is there any point! :o
There must be a point since this is what Apple does for iTunes IIRC.
Though, the iTunes installer does not kill the app itself, it asks
you to do it and then click OK to continue the installation process.
