The difference between a patch and an upgrade is:
NOTE: A patch is a minor update to an app that you can capture, such as moving from a version 1.1 to 1.2
NOTE:: An upgrade is a major update, such as moving from a version 1 to version 2. In this case. For an UPGRADE repackage the application as a new appset with a new AppID. Once that is done, you can follow the same steps in the guide above with the following exceptions
