There are a few different ways the `appcast` can be determined: There are a few different ways the `appcast` can be determined:
* If the app is distributed via GitHub releases, the `appcast` will be of the form `https://github.com/{{user}}/{{project_name}}/releases.atom`. (Example: [`electron.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/645dbb8228ec2f1f217ed1431e188687aac13ca5/Casks/electron.rb#L7)) * If the app is distributed via GitHub releases, the `appcast` will be of the form `https://github.com/{{user}}/{{project_name}}/releases.atom`.

* If the app is distributed via GitLab releases, the `appcast` will be of the form `https://gitlab.com/{{user}}/{{project_name}}/-/tags?format=atom`. (Example: [`grafx.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/b22381902f9da870bb07d21b496558f283dad612/Casks/grafx.rb#L6)) * If the app is distributed via GitLab releases, the `appcast` will be of the form `https://gitlab.com/{{user}}/{{project_name}}/-/tags?format=atom`.

* The popular update framework [Sparkle](https://sparkle-project.org/) generally uses the `SUFeedURL` property in `Contents/Info.plist` inside `.app` bundles. (Example: [`glyphs.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/645dbb8228ec2f1f217ed1431e188687aac13ca5/Casks/glyphs.rb#L6)) * The popular update framework [Sparkle](https://sparkle-project.org/) generally uses the `SUFeedURL` property in `Contents/Info.plist` inside `.app` bundles.

* Sourceforge projects follow the form `https://sourceforge.net/projects/{{project_name}}/rss`. A more specific page can be used as needed, pointing to a specific directory structure: `https://sourceforge.net/projects/{{project_name}}/rss?path=/{{path_here}}`. (Example: [`seashore.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/645dbb8228ec2f1f217ed1431e188687aac13ca5/Casks/seashore.rb#L6)) * Sourceforge projects follow the form `https://sourceforge.net/projects/{{project_name}}/rss`.

* An appcast can be any URL hosted by the app’s developer that changes every time a new release is out or that contains the version number of the current release (e.g. a download HTML page). Webpages that only change on new version releases are preferred, as are sites that do not contain previous version strings (i.e. avoid changelog pages if the download page contains the current version number but not older ones). (Example: [`razorsql.rb`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/645dbb8228ec2f1f217ed1431e188687aac13ca5/Casks/razorsql.rb#L6)) * An appcast can be any URL hosted by the app’s developer that changes every time a new release is out or that contains the version number of the current release (e.g. a download HTML page).

The [`find-appcast`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/developer/bin/find-appcast) script is able to identify some of these. Run it with `"$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask/developer/bin/find-appcast" '{{/path/to/software.app}}'`. The [`find-appcast`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/master/developer/bin/find-appcast) script is able to identify some of these, as well as `electron-builder` appcasts which are trickier to find by hand. Run it with `"$(brew --repository)/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask/developer/bin/find-appcast" '{{/path/to/software.app}}'`.
