What is this?

The updates.json file is the update definitions file. It lists the latest versions, changelogs and download URLs for each platform.

The example project downloads the updates.json file and analyzes it in order to:

• Compare the local (user set) version and the remote version (specified in updates.json)
• Download the change log for the current platform
• Obtain the download URLs
• Obtain the URL to open (if specified)
• Check if the update is mandatory (via the mandatory-update field)
