Is there a good way to get notifications of updates to App Store apps you're distributing via Casper other than having them installed on your computer?
If you open the application's .app folder, you'll find a _MASreceipt folder. Go ahead and remove that, and the software update scanning process will skip over that application.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, but will probably modify my installation package to remove the folder so the end users don't see the notice. What I was really hoping for, however, was an RSS feed, or something similar so I could be notified of any update to any of the applications we have on the corporate App Store account, to avoid having to check the App Store periodically.
Have a nose at the http://www.macupdate.com/ desktop app & subscription service.
Might give you something similar to the RSS feed.
Thanks, I think might do what I'm looking for.
@bentoms - When I search macupdate for "desktop app & subscription service" no results are displayed. Can you clarify?
@zmbarker You might want to have a look at a project called Autopkg. That paired with a Jenkins server makes a pretty nice package update service.
@denmoff][/url, Autopkg won't really work in most cases with Mac App Store apps. Only with items that have direct a download link from a vendor's website.
@mm2270 Ah you're right.
