Question

I want to develop a software updater for Mac OS wherein I want to do silent updates (the user should not be informed about the update and it should automatically download the update as well and install it).

I have seen Sparkle software updater but it seems it asks the user before installing it.

Has anyone used Sparkle for silent update or there are any other open source codes for the installer in cocoa?

Note:- a lot of application are doing this on Mac, like DropBox etc..

Any hint in the right direction would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
