Problem with Auto-Update (downgrade is disallowed)

• Electron builder version: 20.19.2
• Electron updater version: 4.0.6
• Electron version: 3.1.9
• Target: Win x64

Hi guys,

I have an error trying to update my app in development environment:

This is my feed url:

autoUpdater.setFeedURL({
    provider: 'github',
    repo: 'gestios-native',
    owner: '50l3r',
    private: true,
    token: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
});
autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();

And i listen all events and send to ipcrenderer:

const sendStatusToWindow = (text) => {
	if(mainWindow){
		mainWindow.webContents.send('message', text);
	}
};

autoUpdater.on('checking-for-update', () => {
	sendStatusToWindow('Checking for update...');
});

autoUpdater.on('update-available', () => {
	sendStatusToWindow('Update available');
});

autoUpdater.on('update-available', () => {
	sendStatusToWindow('Update not available');
});

autoUpdater.on('error', err => {
	sendStatusToWindow(`Error updating: ${err.toString()}`);
});

autoUpdater.on('download-progress', progressObj => {
	sendStatusToWindow(`Download speed: ${progressObj.bytesPerSecond} - Download ${progressObj.percent}%`);
});

autoUpdater.on('update-downloaded', () => {
	sendStatusToWindow(`Update downloaded: Installing...`);

	autoUpdater.quitAndInstall();
});

I have only one release:

But when i execute npm run dev i recieve this error:

Update for version 3.1.9 is not available (latest version: 0.0.1, downgrade is disallowed).

3.1.9 its my electron version. ¿Why can detect the electron version instead of my app?

When running your development code the version which electron will pick is electron app not your app, you should build your app and try it as a production app.

@Skriptach Short answer, when using electron-updater you should not use setFeedURL.
