Update Enterprise Apps for iOS Devices only ONE TAP ! (faster OTA)

We all know that Apple provides an easy way(OTA - Over The Air) to distribute your in-house application through a simple web link like following.

<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://example.com/maniifest.plist">Install App</a> 

Sure, we can use the same way to update the app. That means we have to send a email or url to our device owner, then they can click it. But in my case, we serve some people who are very busy. Thus we need a faster to update the app.

Usage : 
Simply One Tap on the AutoUpdate Icon

Then the browser will show up and ask you to update the app

How to : 
1. Create a html file with following code

2. Add it to the home screen.

Remember to update the apple-touch-icon link
