1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
sending, by a server, to a client device, an update statement indicating that an update is newly available for one or more applications on the client device; determining, by the server, whether a threshold amount of update statements have been received on the client device; upon determining, by the server, that a threshold amount of update statements have been received on the client device, checking whether a user's network preferences are presently supported in the client-side environment; and upon determining that the user's network preferences are presently supported in the client-side environment, sending an instruction to the client device that causes the client device to prompt the user with a dialog box that a batch of updates are available for download and installation, wherein the dialog box requires a response by the user.
