Description
Auto-updating is the optimal default for Flatpak applications/runtimes. It would be great if we could do it by default.
If we do, we'd likely need to provide an option to turn auto-updating off. This could possibly be an "Auto-Update Applications" toggle in the app menu. When this toggle is off, the user should be notified when application updates are available, but should be required to manually download and install each one.
Automatic updates probably shouldn't be run too frequently, and should probably be batched. It might make sense to run once or twice a day. A notification should inform the user when applications have been automatically updated.
