App Store delta updates

Delta generated per file from one version to the next

Store manages which deltas are published

Generated by the store

Worst-case scenario is full app download

Transparent at app development and submission time


78/94

CAUSES

Small changes generate small deltas

the whole filea file name

CAUSES all files in the directorya directory name

CAUSES everythingthe application name

If you change the delta includes

Free quality assurance

Opportunity to rapidly respond to customer feedback

Direct channel for customers to influence the product

Identify weak and strong points ahead of release
