The first release of the Unipept Desktop application should include an auto-updater, which automatically downloads and installs a new version of this application once it's available.

Auto updating is done, however there are some things we should take into account for the future:

A bug in electron-updater that's present since version 4.2.3 and upwards, causes downloads of files to fail after 30 seconds. I've fixed the electron-updater package version to 4.2.2 at this point. If the issues described here and here are fixed, we can safely upgrade to the new version again.

@pverscha do you know if the bug is platform agnostic, or limited to macOS?

@lidel This bug is platform agnostic afaik. Please note that this is an issue for ‘unipept-desktop’, an app that uses electron-updater. I refer you to the official electron-updater repo for support on that issue.
