[Safe Apps] Update via ENS/IPNS

Open lukasschor opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

What is this about?

We need a way for IPFS Safe Apps to be updated in cases of critical bugs or other iterations of the app.

  • Allow loading apps via ENS name / IPNS link
  • Check if ENS name / IPNS link resolves to new IPFS file
  • Display to the user that there is a new version available
  • Allow users to update to new IPFS file

Open Questions

  • How can we ensure apps updates are safe as we can't test / audit every update?
  • How do we display versions? (E.g. take version from app manifest)
  • How should the user opt-into updates
  • Can we at some point involve a TCR to vet updates?

Acceptance criteria

  • Updating is always opt-in, no automatic updates
