Adobe AIR Update Framework.
I am getting closer to having FlossyFX completed. One feature that I need to work on was the auto update to provide users with new versions of the app. I did a search online to see how other people are doing it and found that Adobe released their own package called Adobe AIR Update Framework last month.
The framework uses XML on a server to store the latest version, update description, and download path. You point the code to the xml and it checks itself against your current version using the application xml file.
The framework comes in two version for UI and non-UI and also in ActionScript and Javascript. I was going to code up an example but I think the samples that Adobe provides are solid. You can download the code and samples on adobe labs.
One thing to note is that the framework is still in beta, but it seemed stable enough to use. I guess you could provide the final code update when you update your app!
