Update process in the Apple App Store

[Scott Morrow]

Would it work to have the (updated app) check and notice that the data in the support folder had been created / last modified by an older version?

This would imply that my app knows that its just been updated and can therefore run a once-only routine of some kind. I can think of a number of techniques for doing this, but I wondered if there is an approved one, or indeed whether the App Store's update service actually allows the app to run in some special update mode by executing additional code etc. Of course I  may have fundamentally misunderstood what the App Store does.
