Auto-updater "Could not connect to the server" after downloading zip on macOS
See original GitHub issue- Electron-Builder Version: 23.0.0
- Node Version: 16.13.2
- Electron Version: 11.5.0
- Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current
- Electron-Updater Version: 5.0.0
- Target: mac arm64 + x64
electron-updater downloads the latest version and returns “Error: Could not connect to the server.” at the end of the download. The ZIP file is completely downloaded in cache folder, I can extract it and install it manually without any issue.
I tested it on Monterey 12.3 beta and Big Sur 11.6 and get the same problem on both versions (x64 version only).
Thanks for your help!

@mmaietta Thanks for the response. Indeed I am on the latest electron-updater 5.2.1. In my case I believe it’s something due to the upcoming MacOS 13 Ventura, as the exact same setup has no auto-update issues on MacOS Monterey and earlier.
I will create a new issue with my Electron versions, etc
Here are more details with
