Preserve arguments on auto-updater quitAndInstall

See original GitHub issue

We have two versions of our app that can be launched by passing a command line argument. Currently the quitAndInstall() does not preserve these, restarting the app in the default mode. Would it be possible to have quitAndInstall() restart the app with the same parameters, alternatively another solution for passing these back to the updated version?

I am highly interested in this feature, something like quitAndInstall(isSilent, isForceRestart, openArguments)

where openArguments could be an array of arguments that will append when reopening the app, ex: ['--updatedTo=2.0.0']

right now i dont have any way to pass any argument after is updated
