How do I enable automatic app updates?

Keep Scriptation up to date automatically by turning on Automatic Updates in your Apple ID settings. Scriptation regularly ships improvements, bug fixes, and OS-compatibility updates — running the current version means fewer issues, better performance, and compatibility with the latest iPadOS and macOS releases.

iPhone / iPad

Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap your Apple ID at the top of the menu.
Tap iCloud → App Store (path may vary by iOS version — alternatively, scroll down in Settings and tap App Store directly).
Make sure App Updates is toggled on.

Mac

Open the App Store app.
In the menu bar, click App Store → Settings (called Preferences on macOS 12 Monterey and earlier).
Make sure Automatic Updates is checked.

✅ TIP: Even with automatic updates on, the App Store sometimes lags behind by a day or two when a new Scriptation release ships. If you know a specific update is out (for example, you just upgraded macOS and need a Scriptation compatibility fix), open the App Store and tap Update manually on the Scriptation page.

✅ TIP: Not sure what version you're currently running? See Current Version and System Requirements.
