How to automatic update app itself?

Open intheway opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

assume that user has installed my app. When the user open the app, and later switch the app to background, how can I update the app automatic? Anyone knows ? Thanks!

Oficially apple prevents this but Mach allows you to set up services and send messages to it containing data. In theory this can be used to update your app.

The problem with this is that you cannot update any ui component in the background, though you can schedule the event by creating a queue for when the user enters the foreground again.

I have a different (maybe similar) problem. I want to make an ARKit Demo app, and then be able to put it into multitasking mode, but still continue running (updating). Is that possible using the standard APIs?
