Watch app update process?

There's a setting that applies to Garmin Express to update apps, which is defaulted to "yes", so is the case with many people.  What happens is when you sync with GE, all app updates are installed.

In GCM, next to an app, is an indication that an update is available, and the user must select it, so it's a manual thing.

I've not used the new "Connect IQ Store" mobile app enough to see how that works with regard to installing app updates.

So there are two avenues, both of which seem to require the user to initiate the update process:

Garmin Express - requires that they have Garmin Express installed on their home computer and then run Garmin Express in order to initiate the update.

GCM - requires them to access GCM and then drill down in the app to check for an available update.

Is that correct?

Yes, but GE is probably less of a manual thing, as I think lots of people use GE to sync, as that's also how you get things like map updates on devices with native maps.

Ok, with the new "Connect IQ Store" app, I just checked and when you start it, it automatically sends the app updates if it's auto-update switch is on.

Most of my users would only use the apps on the watch to run my app, so they hardly ever go to sync'ing features of GE.

I'm looking for a way for my users to be alerted whenever I upload a new version.

I could build a web service to do that, but it's a bit of work that I'd be happy to do without.
