I have been using my UpdateManager that was originally built during the Apollo alpha and updated along the way for all of my AIR projects. Now, there is finally an official solution provided by Adobe. The new Adobe AIR Update Framework uses the same techniques as my UpdateManager as it uses a remote XML descriptor file to hold the information needed about the current version of your application that is read by the Update Framework.

So, here is the good news. If you have been using my UpdateManager, you can switch to the Update Framework by simply adding it to the next version of your application.

Here is some official information about the Update Framework.

This beta release of the update framework for Adobe AIR Applications provides APIs to assist developers in including good update capabilities in their AIR applications. The functionality present in update framework assists developers in the following:

The update framework supplies a default user interface that your application can use. It provides the user with basic information and options related to application updates. Your application can also also define its own custom user interface for use with the update framework.
