Updating applications using migration signatures

摘要

In general, in one aspect, an installation file digitally signed with a first package signature is received. It is determined whether the received installation file includes a migration signature that covers the first package signature and that matches a second signature associated with an installed software application, to confirm that the received installation file includes a valid update related to the installed software application. The installed software application is updated from the received installation file when the migration signature is included.
