setUpdateCallbacks()

void SparkleBridge::setUpdateCallbacks ( sparkle_update_attention_callback_t  attention_cb, sparkle_postpone_relaunch_callback_t  postpone_relaunch_cb, sparkle_will_relaunch_callback_t  will_relaunch_cb  )

static

Register callbacks for Sparkle

All callbacks are invoked on the main thread. Any of them may be NULL to ignore that particular event.

Parameters

attention_cb	Called when the user has engaged with the update.
postpone_relaunch_cb	Called when the update is ready for the app to handle any pre-relaunch tasks (e.g. saving documents). The app should perform the tasks, then call the provided proceed() function pointer to allow Sparkle to continue with the relaunch.
will_relaunch_cb	Called when the app is about to be relaunched.

updateCheck()

void SparkleBridge::updateCheck ( void  )

static

Trigger an immediate, user-initiated update check.

Called when the user selects "Check for Updates…" from the Help menu. Sparkle shows its own native macOS UI (progress sheet, release notes, install prompt) — no additional Qt UI is needed.

updateInit()

void SparkleBridge::updateInit ( const char *  url, bool  enabled, int  interval  )

static

Initialize the Sparkle update subsystem.

Must be called once at application startup (from software_update_init()). Sets the appcast feed URL, whether automatic background checks are enabled, and the interval between automatic checks.

Internally this creates a singleton SPUStandardUpdaterController — the Sparkle 2 equivalent of the deprecated SUUpdater sharedUpdater from Sparkle 1. The singleton ensures that only one updater instance exists for the lifetime of the application.

Parameters

url	Appcast feed URL (an XML file describing available updates). Built by get_appcast_update_url() in software_update.c.
enabled	Whether to check for updates automatically in the background. Maps to the Wireshark preference "gui.update.enabled".
interval	Seconds between automatic update checks. Maps to the Wireshark preference "gui.update.interval".
