Error retrieving update information

Asked by Seb J

Hi,

When I check for updates in my application I get an error: "An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later." The console also adds: "(continued): An error occurred while parsing the update feed."

My appcast is actually in my Dropbox public folder: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1928425/Aide.xml . My application is version 0.4.3 . I have put SUPublicDSAKeyFile and SUFeedURL in my Info.plist and added the values for both.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You close the item element but never actually open it.

Thanks, I don't have an error now, but now my application insists that there is no newer version. Even when I change it's Info.plist back to 0.3 instead of 0.4

You have to specify the version of each update in the appcast. See an example feed: http://andymatuschak.org/files/sparkletestcast.xml

I'm pretty sure I specified the version of the update, I've been using that testcast as a guide.

Sparkle reads the version from the sparkle:version attribute you can see demonstrated in the testcast.

I ran a "find" on the testcast and I can't see a "sparkle:version"

Oh, goodness, you're right. Sorry, the test cast was using a legacy method of specifying version. Refresh, and you'll see it updated.
