App will not automatically update, errors out.

• Version 22.10.5:

• Electron Version 12.0.5:
• Electron Type (current):

• Electron builder 4.3.8

• Target windows:

So, the app starts the update, but it never reaches the event “update-downloaded”, it never gets there. I am not sure why, but, i am able to view the download progress, it finishes, but never emits the event, or actually downloads the update.

Here is my code for my main process

const { app, BrowserWindow, ipcMain, Notification } = require("electron")
const { autoUpdater } = require('electron-updater')

const windows = {}

app.on("ready", () => {

    windows.updater = new BrowserWindow({
        width: 310,
        height: 390,
        fullscreenable: false,
        frame: false,
        webPreferences: {
            nodeIntegration: true,
            contextIsolation: false,
        }
    })

    windows.updater.loadFile("./src/screens/updater/index.html")

    autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify()

    new Notification({
        body: "Test notification"
    }).show()
})

app.on("window-all-closed", () => {
    if (process.platform !== "darwin") {
        app.quit()
    }
})

ipcMain.on("get-app-version", event => {
    event.sender.send("app-version", { version: app.getVersion() })
})

autoUpdater.on("update-available", () => {
    new Notification({
        body: "an update is available to your app, it will start downloading"
    }).show()
})



autoUpdater.on("update-downloaded", () => {
    new Notification({
        body: "an update has been downloaded to your app, it will now close and install."
    }).show()

    autoUpdater.quitAndInstall()
})

autoUpdater.on("update-not-available", () => {
    new Notification({
        body: "App is up to date!!"
    }).show()
})

autoUpdater.on("error", err => {
    new Notification({
        body: err.message
    }).show()
})

autoUpdater.on('download-progress', (progressObj) => {
    let log_message = "Download speed: " + progressObj.bytesPerSecond;
    log_message = log_message + ' - Downloaded ' + progressObj.percent + '%';
    log_message = log_message + ' (' + progressObj.transferred + "/" + progressObj.total + ')';
    new Notification({
        body: log_message
    }).show()
})

Any help is appreciated, i have been raging for the last four hours because for every fix i test on my own, it requires me to publish the fix, then publish the same fix but with a new version number, and then open the fix file, and it has become very tedious and irritating and i need some fresh sets of eyes to check it out. I can link to the source codes repo if anyone needs.

Update: after ten minutes, it said net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED so it never even makes it past the download request to github

We couldn’t determine the origin for the 50mb limit. So we increased it arbitrarily to 500mb in v22.11.1 via #5843
