Auto update on macOS

• electron-builder 14.5.2

• electron-updater 1.8.1

• Target: mac

Similarly to issue #1310 , I’m setting up the auto-update feature on macOS as well. The publishing process is ok, but I’ve got an error during the update process:

• if there is no update, everything is ok and I receive the “No update available” message correctly, but
• if there is an update, I get this:

This is the code looking for any updates:

    log.info('Checking for update...');

autoUpdater.on('update-available', (ev, info) => {
    log.info('Update available.');

    // Wait 5 seconds, then quit and install
