-<p>The beta version of Android Market does not support notifying your users when
-you publish a new version of your application. This capability will be
-added soon, but currently the user must independently initiate download of an
-upgraded application. When you publish an upgrade, you can assist users by
-notifying them that the upgrade is available and giving them a way to download
-the upgraded application from Android Market.</p>
+<p>At any time after publishing an application on Android Market, you can upload
+and publish an update to the same application package. When you publish an
+update to an application, users who have already installed the
+application will automatically receive a notification that an update is
+available for the application. They can then choose to update the application
+to the latest version.</p>
 
-<p>Here is a suggested way of tracking installed application versions and
-notifying users that an upgrade is available:</p>
+<p>Before uploading the updated application, be sure that you have incremented
+the <code>android:versionCode</code> and <code>android:versionName</code>
+attributes in the <a
+href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html"><code>&lt;manifest&gt;</code></a>
+element of the manifest file. Also, the package name must be the same and the
+.apk must be signed with the same private key. If the package name and signing
+certificate do <em>not</em> match those of the existing version, Market will
+consider it a new application and will not offer it to users as an update.</p>
 
-<ol>
-<li>Have your app occasionally check in with a web-service that you're
-running. This web service should return two values: the latest available
-version number for the application (corresponding to
-<code>android:versionCode</code>) and a URI string that your application
-can later send in an Intent, to launch Market and search for the
-upgraded application for the user. 
-
-<p>The URI that your web service returns should be properly formatted to 
-search Android Market for your upgraded application. See 
-<a href="#marketintent">Using Intents to Launch the Market Application</a> 
-for more information. The URI should specify the upgraded 
-application's package name as the query parameter, since the package name
-is guaranteed to be unique on Android Market. The URI format for the 
-package name search is: </p>
-
-<p><code>http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:&lt;package&gt;</code> or 
-<br><code>market://search?q=pname:&lt;package&gt;</code></p>
-
-</li>
-<li>Your application can then compare its own version number against
-that retrieved.  If the retrieved value is greater, your application can
-show a dialog informing the user that a new version is available. The
-dialog can offer buttons to begin the download or cancel. </li> <li>If
-the user clicks the button to begin the download, your application can
-call startActivity() using the ACTION_VIEW Intent, passing the URI
-received from your web service. The Intent launches the Market
-application on the device and initiates an immediate search on the
-Android Market site, based on the query parameters in the URI. When the
-result is displayed, the user can view the details of the upgraded
-application and begin the download. 
-
-<p>Note that, because the URI string is received from your web 
-service and not hard-coded into your application, you can easily change
-the Market launch behaviors whenever needed, without 
-having to change your application. </p></li></ol>
