autoupdater.quitAndInstall don't relaunch and update success

See original GitHub issue

electron-builder: 20.28.4

electron-updater: 3.1.2

Target: Mac

click Restart now can relaunch because of app.relaunch();app.exit(), but cant update from the downloaded update file. Then will launch app and show dialog again and so on, repeated cycle. @develar @maczikasz, thx.

index = dialog.showMessageBox({
          type: 'info',
          buttons: ['Restart now', 'later'],
          title: 'Updates downloaded',
          message: Message.downloaded + meta.version,
          detail: meta.readme,
        });
        if (index === 0) {
          try {
            autoUpdater.quitAndInstall();
            setTimeout(() => {
              app.relaunch();
              app.exit(0);
            }, 6000);
          } catch (e) {
            dialog.showErrorBox('Error', 'Failed to install updates');
          }
        }
      } else {
        delFile(pkgCacheDir);
        dialog.showMessageBox({
          type: 'warning',
          buttons: ['OK'],
          title: 'Updates downloaded fail',
          message: global.localizedStrings.pkgSignFailMessage,
          detail: global.localizedStrings.pkgSignFailDetail,
        });
      }
