So unfortunately, right now, Sparkle doesn't support asking for
permission to update for bundles. And resetUpdateCycle uses whatever
settings the user has to set an appropriate schedule. But if the user is
never asked for permission, then there are no settings, and so no update
will be scheduled, and there's no way for a bundle to make the
permission UI happen.

This sucks, and I'll fix it someday. In the meantime, set
SUEnableAutomaticChecks to YES in your Info.plist. Sorry about that.
