Simpler electron app update without full download

163 views Asked by At

I have an windows electron app (around 250 megs) and i need it be updated once in a while. The only thing that is changing is index.js which is around 350 kb. Is there a simpler solution than downloading entire package with every auto update?

Sure, take a look at Hydraulic Conveyor, it has full support for delta updates on Windows and Mac and is IMHO simpler than using Forge. It doesn't rely on Squirrel for updates and has a variety of other features that you might find useful. Just be aware that it's only free for open source projects, for commercial it's a paid tool.
