Based on the knowledge sources, the "App Updated" event (with raw name "$ae_updated") is a legacy automatically tracked event in Mixpanel's mobile SDKs. This event is triggered when a user updates the app from a previous version.According to the documentation for both iOS Swift and Objective-C SDKs: - The event executes when a user updates the app from the previous version
- A property called "Version Updated" ($ae_updated_version) is tracked to store the new app versionIt's worth noting that this is considered a legacy feature, and Mixpanel doesn't recommend enabling automatic event tracking as these events rely on client-side state and can be unreliable. The documentation recommends disabling automatic event tracking by setting trackAutomaticEvents to false (Swift) or NO (Objective-C) during initialization.Sources:
