The Envato Market Wordpress Plugin is nice the only issues is that my theme has a plugin for settings like share or like, this is required by envato now so that plugin is not on envato and I have to add a updater for it and I am not sure if the Plugin update ckecker is allowed.

I would appreciate it if someone who has a recently approved plugin approved can tell me what to use for the update.

Thank you.

Hello there,
If you want to update your plug-in you should give update in theme . That’s mean if you want to give a update for your plug-in you should change the bundle plugin in your theme files and give a theme update for customers. For example if you have plugin example-v1.zip in your theme files and given users the theme and now you have an update in theme you should edit your theme files and replace the file with your example-v2.zip. The tgm will find and shows update available for your example-v1 plugin .
