Updating always resident applications

Asked by Pinacate

Sparkle checks for updates on second and later runs; however my app is always resident and so doesn't get run a second time. Is there a mechanism to handle this case?

No. But there should be.

Fixed in 32d4f24 with a new SUPromptUserOnFirstLaunch Info.plist key; thanks for pointing that out.

What would you think of exposing a method that the host program could invoke to initiate a check for update?

That already exists. But then you wouldn't get to go through the machinery which prompts the user for permission, which I'm less sure I want to expose a method for.
