electron-updater does not update app, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error

• electron-builder version: 19.45.2
• electron-updater version: 2.16.1
• target: [“zip”, “dmg”]

I am trying to use electron-updater for a Mac app release. I’ve built on top of basic-electron-react-boilerplate and added in electron-builder and electron-updater.

My workflow looks like this:

1. Make changes to code
2. Push code to repository
3. Run npm run build which is short for webpack --config webpack.build.config.js
4. Run npm run publish which is short for build -p always, which spits out my dmg, zip, latest-mac files, etc and publishes them to a GitHub Release.
5. Download and install dmg (an initial release v0.0.1, so no updates available yet)
6. Repeat steps 1-4, and when my first update v0.0.2 is uploaded as GitHub Release, reopen v0.0.1 and expect it to update to v0.0.2, which it does not.

my main.js:

and my error message:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you’d like any additional details, like my package.json or otherwise.

@naheller It will looks a little bit crazy, but works. https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder-binaries/releases is an example of such repo.

Where did you publish your app to? Is the latest-mac.json file publicly accessible?
