Hello everybody, Hope you are doing well!
I'd like to know if updating a portable app (say Firefox) via built-in updater or PortableApps Platform also fetches any update for the launcher (wrapper) or launcher's config for that specific app?
I think there could some cases where an updated app introduces significant changes which the wrapper should be aware of, so how does PortableApps handles such scenarios?

Updating via the PortableApps Platform will also update everything related to the Launcher. It effectively runs the installer again for the app, so you get all the bits updated not just the app itself.
Using an app's built-in updater will not update any of our bits though, since the apps do not understand they are being run within our package.
