After building my app, I get a Racing+ Setup 0.0.1.exe in my dist subfolder. This is all well and good. But shouldn’t there be a latest.yml there too? I need to upload that file to my GitHub releases page in order for automatic updating to work. Where am I supposed to get the latest.yml file?

Just add line on “package.json” “win”: { “publish”:[{“provider”: “generic”, “url”: “your url (it could be localhost)”}] } and the “latest.yml” wil be generate
