I have created ionic project as per the document in [Ionic Deploy](http://docs.ionic.io/services/deploy/).

After I upload new snapshot to ‘dev’ channel I got console log as ‘update is available’.But the update is not downloading.

My code is like this.  
`$ionicDeploy.channel = 'dev'; $ionicDeploy.check().then(function(snapshotAvailable) { if (snapshotAvailable) { $ionicDeploy.info().then(function(info){ console.log("$ionicDeploy.info()",info) }) //When snapshotAvailable is true, you can apply the snapshot console.log("$ionicDeploy.download()",$ionicDeploy.download()); $ionicDeploy.download().then(function() { return $ionicDeploy.extract(); }).then(function() { return $ionicDeploy.load(); }); } });`

And i got console logs as per the following image

i faced this issue, i was able to download the update only once and then it was not downloading  
i solved the issue but uninstalling the app deploy my code and create an app with the same code as deployment  
then i changed some code and tried it and it works.  
how and why ? i have no idea

EDIT:  
are you reloading your app ?  
because the returreturn $ionicDeploy.load() will not execute in my opinion so try to close your app and reload it manually
