发客户端一定要做的就是自动更新模块，否则每次版本升级都是一个头疼的事。
下面是Electron应用使用electron-builder配合electron-updater实现自动更新的解决方案。
1.安装 electron-updater 包模块
2.配置package.json文件
2020-8-24 Daily Mac App Updates: 2020-08-21 Application Version Store Type Popularity; Visual Studio Code 1.48.1.
- 2020-9-8 Updater Channel Adware is classified as a potentially unwanted app for Mac. It appears like a normal app, but it may cause unpleasant pop-ups and redirects on your Mac. Be aware, that Updater Channel Adware may be able to affect the browsers Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge and Opera.It may they perform unwanted activities on your Mac.
- 2019-12-12 MacUpdater，堪称 Mac 上管理 app 更新的「瑞士军刀」。 它不仅没有上面 CleanMyMac X 的局限，而且在使用体验上也极为优秀。 如果偏要找什么缺点的话，那只能说 UI 没有 CleanMyMac X 好看，以及图标还是复古的「拟物风」吧。.
为了打包时生成latest.yml文件，需要在 build 参数中添加 publish 配置。
注意：配置了publish才会生成latest.yml文件，用于自动更新的配置信息；
3.配置主进程main.js文件（或主进程main中的index.js文件），引入 electron-updater 文件，添加自动更新检测和事件监听：
注意：一定要是主进程main.js文件（或主进程main中的index.js文件），否则会报错。
4.在视图层中触发自动更新，并添加自动更新事件的监听。
触发自动更新：
监听自动更新事件：
App Updates Microsoft One Drive
为避免多次切换页面造成监听的滥用，切换页面前必须移除监听事件：
5.项目打包
执行electron-builder进行打包，windows下会生成安装包exe和latest.yml等文件，执行exe安装软件；Mac下会生成安装包dmg和latest-mac.yml文件，执行dmg安装软件。
windows打包生成文件：
Mac打包生成文件：
6.软件升级版本，修改package.json中的version属性，例如：改为 version: “1.1.0” (之前为1.0.0)；
7.再次执行electron-builder打包，将新版本latest.yml文件和exe文件放到package.json中build -> publish中的url对应的地址下；
8.在应用中触发更新检查，electron-updater自动会通过对应url下的yml文件检查更新；
