don't touch API_URL, if you change it, you don't get any updates at all.

Thank you for the response, Lenik.
I followed the instructions mentioned in the manual
(http://www.auto-update-apk.com/manual) which asks that I use /download URL:
"Application downloads
To download application you may click on the Application name or scan the QR
code on the Application page. This QR code and download link are supposed to be
given to your customers, so they can install the software on their devices. The
link and QR code stays the same for the whole lifetime of your application, you
need to copy/distribute them only once. If you publish the new version of your
app, people trying to download using QR code or download link will be
automatically served the newest version.
If you would like to download a particular version you have uploaded (and
haven't deleted yet), you may click on that version icon.
Please, note, the correct download link looks like
"http://www.auto-update-apk.com/download/com.your.package.name". Links
including "/fetch/" and long encoded string are intended for your personal use
and not for distribution. If you try to use "fetch" links to distribute your
software you should be aware that:
your customers will get that particular version of software, not the latest one
as with "download" links
"fetch" links, unlike "download" links, might eventually stop working, leaving
your customers upset
To reiterate, please, don't distribute "fetch" links, use "download" links
instead. You may get "download" link by scanning QR code or right-clicking your
application package name on the Applications page."

"Download URL" is the URL you're supposed to put on your web-site or give to
your customers, so they can download your software. It was never intended nor
expected to be put anywhere inside the source code.
Did you get updates running?

I reverted the API_URL to the original. Should ANDROID_PACKAGE reflect my app's
package name or should I leave that as is as well?
private final static String ANDROID_PACKAGE =
"application/vnd.android.package-archive";
private final static String API_URL =
"http://auto-update-apk.appspot.com/check";

Err, I corrected the API_URL:
private final static String API_URL = "http://www.auto-update-apk.com/check";
and yet no luck.

Please, don't change anything you don't understand.
Please, refer to the issue 22 and issue 23 (use "Search: All issues")
regarding the initial testing.
When in doubt, please, read logcat, that's where AutoUpdateAPK writes messages
about update process.
