Question

Air application incremental update

Hi All,

I have an AIR application of more than 300 MB.

For update I am using NativeApplicationUpdater-0.5.1.swc.

Whenever there is a small update, user have to download the entire installer package which is quite frustrating.

Is there any mechanism we can download only the updated files and push it to the existing application.

Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

I've had apps that contained large media assets (is this your scenario?) and the application SWFs themself were very small. In that case I would roll an update without the media assets. Or if the media needed to be updated, I would include just the updated media. I never use the application updater "framework", just the built in Updater class.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the reply.

But my scenario is not just the media or any specific update. I am looking for random update.

Is there a solution?

Hi Aaron,

I am little bit confused about your answer.

If I package my update installer without some big assets and if the new installer package replaces the existing one, then will the application still have the big assets?

Please clarify.
