The Update Framework went live on Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Adobe_AIR_Update_Framework
- This framework provides update functionality in AIR apps by using a remote descriptor (an XML file describing the update that sits on your remote server)
- This framework is designed to work with both Flex and Ajax based AIR apps
- It comes in two flavors
- As a “headless” library – this just does all the work (checking remote url, downloading update, etc) and dispatches events so developers can hook their own UI
- As a “UI” library – this basically does the same thing as the headless lib, but it also includes default dialogs that can be used out of the box in your app. This is the easiest way to use the framework and have all the update functionality out of the box.
- The easiest way to start with it is by checking the “simple_ui” sample from the samples package (for both Flex or HTML/JS)
