By default, if the SUAllowsAutomaticUpdates Info.plist key is not specified, the update alert option to allow automatic downloading/installing of updates will only be shown if automatic checking of updates is enabled. However, the developer can now override this by setting SUAllowsAutomaticUpdates to true in Info.plist which indicates the option should be available even if automatic checking of updates is not enabled.
