What is the best way to add a "Check for updates..." functionality to a Cocoa application? I saw a little framework implementing this but I'm not sure that's the better way.
Should I implement it from scratch?

Install pods Open the Podfile by selecting Tools | CocoaPods | Edit Podfile from the main menu. Read more about the Podfile syntax here. To install the pods, do one of the following: Place the caret at the code line where you add the pod, press ⌥ ⏎ , select Install, and press ⏎ .
$ pod update When you run pod update SomePodName , CocoaPods will try to find an updated version of the pod SomePodName, without taking into account the version listed in Podfile. lock . It will update the pod to the latest version possible (as long as it matches the version restrictions in your Podfile).
Sparkle is widely accepted as the best way to do it.

Sparkle is the most popular way to do this.
There is also the lesser known update-engine which Google is using and developing.
