The Appsero SDK is now split into 2 parts.

• The Appsero Client
• The Updater SDK.

From V2.0. the Appsero SDK doesn’t contain the Updater SDK by default.

🎯 This was done to be in compliance of WordPress.org guideline.

What’s changed in the new Appsero SDK from now on?

Appsero SDK is now split into 2: The regular Appsero Client and the Client Updater.

This was done to maintain WordPress org team guidelines that free plugin updates should be managed by WordPress org itself and there shouldn’t be any method in place in the library that tries to handle updates within the free plugins hosted at WordPress.org

If you are using Appsero to manage free plugins hosted at WordPress.org, you should update to the latest version of SDK to avoid violation of WordPress.org repository – as the new version doesn’t come with the “Updater” functionalities for free plugins. 

If you are using Appsero to manage any premium plugins, then you have to implement the Appsero Client Updater along with the SDK. The updated SDK implementation guide is available inside the Appsero Dashboard ➪ Usage Guide section as shown below

🎯 Learn more how to implement the Appsero Updater to your Pro plugins.

How to Update the Appsero SDK?

You can update the Appsero SDK in any of the three ways –

• By manually downloading the repository and replacing existing files inside the appsero folder
• Via the composer update command
• Via the git pull command
• (Optional) Put the Appsero Client Updater inside your Pro plugin if you want to manage updates going forward
