yesn't
there needs to be some auto updater
but you don't necessary need to have some
or in other words you normally want to integrate into existing update services, e.g. then package manager on linux. And if it then doesn't get updated e.g. because people don't update their system at all then that's their choice and problem IMHO. Just flag a warning/error once the API to your service changed too much or similar.
- Spivak 4y agoIf you're on a Linux distro then you have better options (package repository or /a Flatpak repo) and a user-base that knows to run updates. If you're not on a Linux distro then you have neither hence the auto-updaters.
- dathinab 4y agoYou mean no options except the Microsoft/Apple app store. And I think you also can hook into the Microsoft updated without being on the app store but not completely sure. And you can just use a existing auto updater library or similar instead of implementing it yourself ....
