We have created a 64 bit captive application on AIR.
We want to create a setup and prompt an automatic update on running the application.
Can you suggest how to create an auto update setup for cative AIR applications ?

I might misunderstand the question, but I think one approach would be using an URLRequest when the app starts, to check a variable for whether you should show a prompt or not. Then in your customized alert box have a button that leads to the app in App Store/Google Play where your customers can update the app.

Hi @mikehorton
The project looks promising. Do you have the steps on how to integrate it with existing project. I just created a new project and added all source code but this does not seem to work.
Do I need to import it in some other way ?

Hi yashy2823074. I have not implemented the code into my own project yet so don't really have any steps to give.
I also found another project for Captive Updating on Google Code. This one looks easier to implement if you watch the video below he gives instructions.
Project Files
Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
Video
NativeApplicationUpdater for AIR 2.0 apps packaged with native installers on Vimeo

Hi mikehorton
I tried both project but there are certain files missing in both projects. Due to which I was not able to compile them with my code.
Can someone give it a try and check these can be used for auto updating ?
Or can we use something else ?
