A Titanium module to see if a tester is running the latest beta build uploaded to installrapp.com

installr updater

An easy way to prompt your beta testers to update to a new build when there is a new version on installrapp.com

If you use Installr to distribute the betas of your Titanium apps (and you should!) this is an easy way to ensure they upgrade to a new version once you upload it to installr.

It will only run if the app has not been downloaded from the App Store.

Usage:

var installrUpdater = require('installrUpdater');

// Get your App Token from installr - on the settings tab of any app
var installrAppToken = "DhhfQUJBfQY7fsI7TYKQqqQB2tNL";

// This will automatically check for an update check for an update
// on app resume and the app going online
installrUpdater.autocheck(installrAppToken);

The tester will recieve a prompt if there is a new version on installr:

You can also pass your own function to handle the response:

// An example of passing your own function to handle the response
	installrUpdater.checkForNewerVersion(installrAppToken, function(e) {
		alert('this is my custom handler for the data');
		Ti.API.info(e, null, 4);
	});
