I am not sure whether my concern should be under enTourage eDGe help

; however, it is related to loading non-enTourage store apps onto the EE via the emulator method.
I have been extremely successful with the emulator method for installing applications. I have a fairly high confidence level that once an app was installed and an update occurred, the eDGe was made aware and allow me to install the app's update. However, I am no longer obtaining notifications of updated applications.
Was I dreaming that update notifications were occurring on my EE? If such updates are a reality, are there any troubleshooting guidance that can be provided? If not, any workarounds short of having the emulator get updated and going through the backup/Dropbox method?
Thanks in advance for the dialog.
