app store requires removal of check for updates #32

Closed robaho closed 5 years ago

robaho commented 5 years ago

The app store does not allow applications to perform their own "check for updates", so this functionality needs to be removed or disabled for app store distribution.

The sticky problem is that the "network client" is only required for check for updates, and so if this is removed, then that entitlement can be removed - but it is still needed for 'non app store' distribution.

I think the easiest way is to disable the sand-box when creating the disk image.

checking for updates was removed in the latest build. The code has been changed to assume primary distribution via the App Store. Older versions when asking to "download the latest" will be redirected to the App Store.
