Hi,

I have designed a preference pane application that parses an xml file
and displays the information.

I now want to design software updates for my application. Basically the
xml file will have a url (to a webserver) and my app should check for
updates on the server.

After reading the apple software installation & updates Human interface
guidelines, I have a rough understanding. Being a newbie I need more
information. How can I accomplish this using cocoa? Please provide me
some guidelines(links/books etc) on how to solve this.

TIA

You could have a look at Sparkle. Even if you don't want to use it, it
may give you some ideas.
