How to implement Automatic Updates in your Electron JS Application

Hello,

In this video I am going to show you how to autoupdate an Electron app using the Electron Builder and the ELectron Updater packages.

The process requires multiple steps but it's simple enough and if you follow along you will be able to create Setups with automatic updates for your applications easily.

Here's the link to the Github repository for the code

Great video, I hope you will create a new one to automate de release deployment using npm scripts instead of do it manually (i mean with a release.ts file in the root of your project). See you soon 😃

Great video, thanks for posting, i am using bytenode when building do you think it's doable with bytnode ? when building I created another electron app that copies files from the original app and compile them with bytenode then runs the build command... do you think that process will work with the electron updator ?

I am having some issues, like when I am running this application in development mode with 'npm start' it is showing me 'Skip checkForUpdates because application is not packed and dev update config is not forced' and when I am running the application after installation there is no activity. ☹ please help.
