Apple software updates to move to Mac App Store in the future

Apple has confirmed that it is to simplify updates for its operating system in the future by moving the update process to the Mac App store when it launches Mac OS X 10.8 in the summer.

Currently Apple's Software Update system in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion force users to use a dedicated update procedure that constantly checks to see if updates are available. Apple now feels, it seems, that this way of doing things might be slightly confusing to users coming from an iPhone or iPad who are used to seeing updates for apps appear in the App Store rather than buried elsewhere.

Explaining to Pocket-lint in a behind-closed-doors briefing for the new developer preview of Mac OS X Mountain Lion, Apple has told us that the new method will offer updates to the OS and Apple applications in a similar way to how it does on iOS via the App Store, but in this case via the Mac App Store.

It also presumably means that all Apple users will be required to set up an Apple account to access software updates in the future, as well as to encourage users to keep the Mac App Store logo on their Dock to easily see when updates appear, although that has yet to be confirmed or set in stone - It is still early days for the developer preview.

The new feature is available in the new version of Apple Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Apple has told Pocket-lint that the new features and new operating system, Apple Mac OS X Mountain Lion, will be out in the summer. Developers that want to get started with the new features, can do so via the Apple Mac OS X Mountain Lion developer preview out on Thursday 16 February.
