Update the electron-updater is a simple but very risky process, because maybe the auto updater would not work in the next release. If updating the updater have to release 2 versions of the app to be sure the updater works.
Example:
| Application version | Electron updater version | result |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0.0 | x.x.x | need to release next version to test |
| 1.0.1 | x.x.x | can test 1.0.0 => success/failed |
| 1.0.2 | x.x.x+1 | can test the x.x.x electron-updater version can update the app to 1.0.2, but can not test the x.x.x+1 can update the app to the next version |
