We want CodeEdit to be evergreen, meaning it automatically downloads updates in the background. When the user closes or restarts, CodeEdit installs the downloaded update in the background. When an update is downloaded, the user gets a notification via notification center which allows them to install and restart then. If dismissed it will install on application close. There will be a "Automatically keep CodeEdit up to date" checkbox (enabled by default) that controls this behavior.

    Can the Sparkle Framework do this? Looking at the docs, I see the SUAutomaticallyUpdate property, which says

    Default: NO. Enables automatic download and installation of updates. If set to YES, Sparkle will attempt to download and install new updates silently in the background. In Sparkle 1, updates won’t be opted into this if users need to provide authorization. In Sparkle 2, updates will be downloaded but not installed automatically if authorization is required. In all versions of Sparkle, if the application hasn’t quit for 1 week the user will be presented with installing the downloaded update (unless the updater delegate overrides this).

    If we prompt the user for authentication the first time but then auto-update, wouldn't this fulfill the evergreen goal after the first launch and authentication prompt?

    Yes. I believe so. Is this something you’d be willing to take on?
