Integration
Swing for Updates Integration
Unlike the traditional integration method, the SFU integration provides a lightway check for updates system that does not run when it's triggered (making your shortcut startup faster).
This integration relies on a JSON file saved on the iCloud Drive that can be later read by Swing Updater to update your shortcut. As a user, they only have to run Swing Updater and select the option "Check for Updates" to get all the latest updates for their shortcuts!
In case you already implemented the first integration method then Swing Updater will automatically setup this one for you.
