New Application Version Notification and Update

Service Studio
On our radar
If I have applications installed from Forge like "SilkUI Framework" or "Google Maps", Service Center and\or Service Studio could notify me if there are newer versions available.

This way Forge would work like a real App Store and notify the users each time a new version of an app is available, and with a click we could instantly update those apps.

This option should be configurable from Service Center \ LifeTime.

I agree! That said, when you download a component you can (or used to be able to) subscribe to it and get a notice when a new version came out, which was a help.

Can not agree more, especially if there are some security patches.

I agree with this and I like the part of transforming the forge into a more dynamic market of apps.

When you look at Service Center, components with a new version in the Forge should be flagged or marked somehow, so you know that you may want to update them.

It would be ideal if the versions on ServiceCenter can be referenced against the forge and the version dependancies are highlighted against other forge components.

In a simplistic manner it could basicaly be a lifetime bridge between the forge and the platform.

For Forge modules/applications that have not been modified locally, the platform could regularly check whether the installed version corresponds to the latest stable version (or under development, if you want to add an extra option for that) or not, and display a visual cue that the module/application is outdated.

It would be great to see any indicator that installed components like Silk Mobile are updated and can be upgraded.

Its will allow to avoid fixing things that are already fixed in new version and do not manually check all components.

List of changes or quick link to component version history would be also great.

It would be useful for developers to get a notification during publishing or on open the app in studio that there are updated versions of the component that the are using from the forge.

Merging with a few other related ideas, the concept is the same.

Merged this idea with 'Dashboard to batch download and/or install newer versions of Forge Components' (created on 10 Sep 2017 03:07:46 by Takahito Torimoto)

A dashboard that - on one screen - shows what Forge components have newer versions released (compared to what is installed in an Environment), and ability to batch download (more than 1 at a time) as well as (maybe) installing that batch at once (maybe downloaded as Solution Pack?) into that Environment.

I guess it might be problematic, as it's a good practice to test everything before publishing. A new version can always contain bugs and crash something that used to work fine in your apps, don't you think?

Besides the fact that it would be a hard one for my environments since I split up most of the forge component since I don't need all the example screens/modules in my test/acpt/prod environments.

I don't know if batch download-install all forge components is a good one, most of the time their library components and it requires quite some republish of all the consumers and that can have quite some effect.
