I have an issue with Joomla 2.5 extensions updates.

I've released a new version for a plugin made by myself and installed into my site. I have made the xml update server but inclusive other extensions that has a lot of updates aren't detected.

What could be the issue for this?

Please show the code for your update.xml file and the extension xml file – Lodder
It has no science. I followed the instruction in Joomla Develop Documentation but it doesn't work. and checked another examples from downloaded plugins has the same setting and the worked. As I saidin my question, Joomla is not detecting only my extension updates, nor all extensions updates. gets only joomla core prior updates. – Néstor

I previously found there was an issue with the version numbers: I had to use a 4-level version number ( 3.0.0.1 ) to get the automatic update to work. You could try that...

Good, 1 year later I could see the issue (for my extensions): on update server xml the tag element had a typo (minimum typo) and Joomla update manager were not able to find the updates to my extension.

the value for element tag had a plugin_name value (look at the underscore) but plugin is pluginname

for third party extensions, was a Joomla bug and I update the site to the current Joomla version.
