Do you use electron-builder to build?

[YamiChat]

I use this command

npm run build-mac

with package.json

  "description": "Online chat",
  "main": "main.js",
  "scripts": {

    ],
    "appId": "com.electron.Chat",
    "productName": "Chat",

      "contents": [

        },
        {
          "x": 410,
          "y": 270,

      "window": {
        "width": 540,

    }
  }

Update electron-builder to 13.7.0

[ajbeaven]

Update: Oh, I see that auto updating is not yet supported in dev. Consider this a +1 for #1254

I'm getting the same problem with the following installed:

• Version:
  electron: 1.4.15
  electron-builder: 14.4.0
  electron-updater: 1.9.0

• Target: windows

I'm building using electron-builder with the following:
build --win --x64 --ia32
