ios - How does the app-update process in the Apple AppStore work -
i managed squeeze down texture/image data game 20mb allow 3g downloads. stay below 20mb, if app gets updated (additional texture data). in order allow future updates, app copies textures/images main bundle documents directory (which not altered when app updated). when app starts, checks if required textures exist in documents folder. if dont exist, textures copied main-bundle document directory. updates should contain new texture data (which again copied document folder) , modified binary. possible? how apple update ios apps? approach works, if updates applied sequentially when user decides update app:
1) original version installed 2) update available -> install 3) update available -> install ...
the described approach not work, when apple provides "latest" version (because previous updates missing).
i hope can shed light on update process.
thanks
in own words:
the described approach not work, when apple provides "latest" version (because previous updates missing).
once submit new version , approved apple, previous binary no longer available consumer, latest binary only version of application available in appstore.
this means new users download latest version , existing users can skip versions when updating. versions must standalone , not "patches" previous versions.
