For selling outside of the MAS, Paddle is pretty good: https://www.paddle.com/developers

They have a quick to implement SDK that will take care of licensing, payments, etc. Depending on how you want to price your app the 5% + 50c deal could also work out well.

On the website, they say:

  - Automatic Updates
    Publish updates to your app or game instantly in just 3 clicks.

However, I wasn't able to find any documentation about that feature, same for Crash Reporting. I've written an email, but by any chance you know anything about this?

I worked on the licensing and IAP SDK's so not 100% about these features. It's a holiday in the UK today so I'm guessing it won't be an instant answer as usual.

I'll ask the question also, if those portions aren't ready yet I'm sure they'll be in the works though.

They'll ship native support for the Sparkle framework soon, that's why they mention "automatic updates" on the website.

This looks actually pretty amazing and might be worth a shot.
