Sparkle

Couldn't find an appropriate update in the downloaded package

Asked by WebDrive

Hi,
 my application is called WebDrive.app and I have an installer package called WebDrive.pkg. If I archive that into something like WebDrive_1_00_101.dmg and use that file in my appcast, I get the "Couldn't find an appropriate update in the downloaded package" message.

However, if I call my archive simply "WebDrive.dmg", Sparkle works great.

What am I missing? or must my archive be called the exact name as my app?

Thanks!
Michael

That sounds like it might actually be a bug. Please email me your appcast and .dmg at <email address hidden>.

I did some more investigating and it looks like it may be a case sensitivity issue.

My app is called WebDrive

my package was called webdrive.pkg

my archive was called webdrive_1_00_101.dmg

I went back and recreated my package as WebDrive.pkg and now the update worked.
