Updating Provenance

How to update your Provenance installation

How you update depends on how you installed Provenance:

App Store updates are automatic — no action needed.

To verify you're on the latest version:

Tip: Make sure Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings → App Store so updates install in the background.

If you built from source, pull the latest changes and rebuild:

Navigate to your Provenance directory:
```
cd /path/to/Provenance
```
Pull the latest source:
Option A — Overwrite local changes (easiest, reapply Bundle ID after):
```
git pull origin develop
```
Option B — Preserve local changes (keeps your Bundle ID and code modifications):
```
git stash
git reset --hard HEAD
git pull origin develop
git stash pop
```
Update submodules and open in Xcode:
```
make update
make open
```
In Xcode:
- If you used Option A, reapply your Bundle ID and signing settings
- If you used Option B, just press Run (your settings are preserved)
Provenance compiles and installs on your device

If you use Tower as your Git client:

In Terminal:

cd /path/to/Provenance
make update
make open

Command-Line Build Shortcuts

If you've already completed the first-time setup, you can update and build entirely from Terminal:

# iPhone / iPad
make ios

# Apple TV
make tvos

These commands pull the latest source, update submodules, and build in one step.
