Sparkle

Update Error!

Asked by Decoder

New to using sparkle and caught in the beginning :(

Here are the steps which I followed-

1. uploaded appcast.xml to server with no node for items because it is the first version created.
2. Followed step 1st and 2nd as written in documentation.
3. Generated public and private keys and added public key under resources in project.
4. Added two keys – ‘SUPublicDSAKeyFile’ and ‘SUFeedURL’ to info.plist with values- ‘dsa_pub.pem’ and ‘http://192.165.0.10/appcast.xml’ respectively. The key- ‘Bundle version’ represents ‘1.0’ in it.
5. Then executed the application and selected the ‘Check for updates …..” sub menu but, it produces following error:
Update Error! An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later.
Sparkle error (continued): An error occurred while parsing the update feed.

Can anyone tell where I may be wrong??

As the error indicates, the appcast couldn't be downloaded. That makes sense, because I also cannot get your appcast from the URL you provided. I guess you have a server problem.

The error actually suggests a parse error. Could you post the appcast somewhere we can get to it?

Actually you can't see from this description whether parsing or downloading failed, because the alert shows the same message in either case. The actual reason is only written to the logs, so please also report what your logs say. But given that the server does not return the appcast, it's plausible to expect that's the reason.
