 version and language, we would have one separate .htaccess for each
 channel, in a sub-directory, which redirects based on OS, version and
 language. The matching of the channel would be done with the directory
 name.

 Thanks for the clarification.  I should have looked at our app.update.url
 format before I posted my question; for some reason I forgot that
 %CHANNEL%/ (with trailing /) was in there in such a convenient way.
