Incremental updates not recognized

[ptfigg]

Thanks for the assistance. Never had a problem with this before. For some reason automaticallyChecksForUpdates stopped working. I'm using a bound checkBox to turn this on. I launched/quit/launched my app about 20x just to see if I could get it to recognize the available update. No luck. The checkForUpdates action (wired to a button) works as expected and displays any available updates. No errors in the feed. The framework is properly installed and everything else is set up correctly.

I'm using a compiled copy of the framework downloaded from the site (ver.1.5 b6).

Thanks again.

Is there anything interesting in the console logs?

Please paste the contents of your user defaults plist here.

Thanks, Andy. I gather you're referring to: ~/Library/Logs/SparkleUpdateLog.log ?

Nothing.

I'm not sure which user defaults plist you need.

[andymatuschak]

Also check the system log, please.

As for the user defaults: please paste the output of defaults read your.bundleidentifier.here.

You mentioned relaunching the app to test the automatic check, are you removing SULastCheckTime or setting it to at least 24 hours in the past before launching the app? By default Sparkle only performs an automatic check 24 hours after the last check. Relaunching the app doesn't trigger a check since 1.5.

matt. andy,

Again - thanks. I just reset SULastCheckTime back 48 hours, launched the app and the latest update prompt appeared. So - it's possible I was not allowing enough time to pass before the new update availability would appear? I don't know - it doesn't sound right to me. In the past using the same version of the Framework the available updates would appear shortly after updating the feed. Is there anything else I should look into?

[mattstevens]

The only thing I can think of is a shorter SUScheduledCheckInterval that was previously set in your app's user defaults and since removed. Otherwise it sounds like the automatic check is working as it should.

[andymatuschak]

When Sparkle's built for debug, it's possible to make the check interval as short as one minute, which would yield the behavior you're describing. I think this is working as intended; please reopen if you see this again!
