Preparation for installing updates to an app

[trags3]

Hi all.
I am working on an app that I have yet to submit to the app store. I anticipate future updates to add or refine some of the features of the app.
Can someone guide me as to what I need to have in the app to allow updates to purchased apps?
Is this what push notifications are for?

Thanks

You don't need anything special. Just make the revisions, build the new app, and submit it to the App Store. Apple does all the notifications and updating for you.

Jacque,
Thanks.
After some research I kind of thought that was the way it worked but I needed confirmation.

Hi Jacque
Do I need to check the "Push Notifications" box in the StandAlone settings?

What are Push Notifications?

Push notifications are messages that are generated by an app and appear in the notification pane when there is information to display, like when an alarm goes off or new mail comes in. You don't need those.

Apple does all the work for you. Just build the app and don't worry about updates. When you upload a new version Apple will tell the user it's available and handle the download and replacement.
