Thanks for your answers guys! As stated, I actually know how to technically do this (see the link I provided). I already wrote apps that can update themselves :-) .
The truth is, this kind of functionality requires taking into account a lot of potential use case. Furthermore, if a company write a lot of apps for internal use, they might want a specific app dedicated to handling updates / install of new private apps. A private market. So I was just wondering if this kind of app already exist in the Open Source world... Seems not. Might be a good idea to start writing that sort of project.
