Hi Al, At present the library draws the current version info from the current context (ie. the application running) - presumably this would need to be variable for an app-store application; the library was consciously designed in a solo-application-centric way, not with an app-store in mind. Having said that, the library does have untested (and thus undocumented) features that allow the http URL from which the versions document is retrieved to be varied according to the application being checked.
In short, it's probably not a million miles from something that could be useful for an app-store app. Tom.
