Figure out automatic-upgrade process

[Jonty]

Electron supposedly provides this, but I've seen other electron apps in the OSX app store. Not sure.

For Mac: App store

For windows: maybe http://winsparkle.org/ ? dunno if it's best in class.

Electron has built-in auto-updating support for Windows. Also more app store details here.

Progress is happening here: master...autoupdates

[jwheare]

Well, this works now.

Hey @jwheare
Could you please tell me how are you handling auto updater feature in Linux?
I'm trying to add this feature in one of my electron app and was thinking to use electron-gh-releases which supports windows + Mac pretty well but I'm not sure what to do with linux 😭 .

@akashnimare we're using https://github.com/GitbookIO/nuts but there may be better options these days, it has its quirks.

[akashnimare]

@jwheare Thanks 👍 .

[akashnimare]

@jwheare Btw electron-gh-releases looks promising.
