Error ZIP file not provided - autoUpdate on mac using electron-updater dmg

Question

I have a mac dmg target installer set up with electron-updater, when my app detects update I get an error in the logs saying that ZIP file not provided. Not sure how to solve this?

EDIT: In the docs it says "Defaults to default (dmg and zip for Squirrel.Mac). Note: Squirrel.Mac auto update mechanism requires both dmg and zip to be enabled, even when only dmg is used. Disabling zip will break auto update in dmg packages"

I tried setting target to default and I got a different error that it could'nt find <installerName.zip>, although only a dmg file was created.

Im using:

"electron": "14.0.1",
"electron-builder": "^22.13.1",
"electron-updater": "^4.4.6",

Answer 1

In the build settings, I removed the "dmg" target and replaced it with "default". I made sure that both installers <installerName.dmg> and <installerName.zip> have been created (otherwise the update for the dmg won't work) and uploaded them to storage location.
