Windows software update broken due to publisherName with no cert

• Version: 20.38.5

4.0.6

• Target: Windows / NSIS

A previous version of our app MyMonero (1.1.7) has a publisherName set in package.json. We didn’t realize auto-update wasn’t working in this version (a 404 was occurring - which is now fixed) … and now in the new version 1.1.8, once the update downloads, the app throws an error (which then causes the app to quit - very undesirable, I must say… since it breaks the app for everyone on Windows) … which says "New version 1.1.8 is not signed by the application owner: publisherNames: MyMonero Pty Ltd., rawInfo: { "SignerCertificate": null, "TimeStamperCertificate", null, "Status": 2, … .

I’ve tried removing publisherName from the 1.1.8 package.json but it seems like it’s grabbing publisherName from the existing version 1.1.7’s config. I’ve also tried using verifyUpdateCodeSignature: false in 1.1.8 package.json but again it seems to be using the 1.1.7 config (which would make sense).

This issue seems similar in principle to https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/1856 , however, we do not actually do any code signing on Windows yet.

Is there any way we can fix this issue for people on 1.1.7 so that the app doesn’t quit?

我今天也出现了这个问题，并且没有找到解决方案。这个问题对于用户当前的应用程序是致命的，现在看来，用户只能手动下载你的1.1.8，虽然这有点糟糕。
