Overview

The Application Update Service (AUS) refers to the part of Software Update that tells clients:

  • if they have an update
  • information about that update if it exists

In general, the transaction looks like:

  • Software Update checks app.update.url, passing information about itself
  • AUS responds with a properly formed XML document
  • Software Update processes that XML document and performs the appropriate task

The general workflow is illustrated below: Aus.jpg
