Updatr Beta 4 - Check for Updates for all your Cracked Apps

New developer around town docmorelli is releasing an open beta of his new app Updatr, this gives you the functionality that Install0us 3 was offering of showing if any of your installed apps have newer versions in the app store.

Whats Updatr all about:
Updatr is a little tool which scans your local installed applications, contacts itunes and informs you if there is a newer version available.



What's new in beta 4:
- extrapromt when you enter itunesid on your own with the name of the app in itunes to see if everything is correct
- updatr remembers now your last used country
- last itunesversions now shows up if you dont perform an update on launch
- small iconproblem fixed (pokedex)
- default.png
- i tried to crash updatr with some really dumb user inputs and i worked this is fixed now
- no damage is done if you lose your connection while updating now.

How does the plusgin system work:
on every launch Updatr scans for all .plists in
/private/var/mobile/Documents/UpdatrPlugins/ and you can then view your
uptodate or needstobeupdated apps on these pages.an example how such a
plist file must look:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "[url=http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd]http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd[/url]">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>URL</key>
    <string>[url=http://iparepo.com/i/description/%itunesid%/]http://iparepo.com/i/description/%itunesid%/[/url]</string>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>IPARepo</string>
</dict>
</plist>

%itunesid% will then be replaced by the apps itunesid you want to seach for.

apptrackr is always included, even if you havent installed any plist

Why open beta and no completed Updatr?
right now theres is only one issue i need to fix before releasing 1.0.
if you have an older device (no 3gs or ipod touch 3g) and you have to much apps installed (far beyond 100), Updatr will most likely run out of memory and crash. since i dont have time this weekend to code and this isnt something i can fix in just a day i will give you open beta 4 instead of 1.0. hope you have fun with this one and maybe you will find some bug i can fix before actuall release

so here some links to open beta 4:

in case you have no clue what to do with these:
copy the Updatr.deb on your device and run "dpkg -i Updatr.deb" over ssh. this will install Updatr. after a respring or restart Updatr should show up on your springboard.

Please post any bugs you get in the thread, as the official version 1 release shouldn't be too far away.
