Launch Updates for your Games

Hey guys, I am currently working on a quick app that will let you update any games that have updates available to them.

What will be needed though is for any developer who wants their app to be updated will need to upload the apk to their own web server so that my app may distribute it to those who wish to update without losing their data

My question is: Will you devs actually use this until OUYA comes out with a better way to handle updates? Or should I stop before I put too much time into this?

What it does is it looks at every app that you have installed and does a html query on whether or not it needs to be updated and then displays the apps that do need to be updated.

The success of this will rely heavily on the cooperation of the developers!


EDIT: Alright, You can now register your updates at http://mattlangdev.com/update/index.php Gonna upload the app to the ouya store now and wait for approval

Thanks for reading this guys!

This is an example of what it will do/look like

    • Games with available updates now have an icon in the top right corner of their tiles in both Play and Discover.  Users can download the update from the tile in Play, or from the Game Details screen. "

    yeah with the update, this is no longer needed. They held my submission for like two weeks until they were ready to release the update.
