Adding Assets

Adding assets/versions couldn't be easier.

Check the video below for a brief video of how to add a version and assets.

Electron Release Server Demo

Once added, assets and versions will be instantly available on their channels. This is great for quickly distributing new versions to your users when paired with electron's built-in auto-updater.

Files to upload

The release server will process and serve files for a given version based on two heuristics.

Platform

This is explicitly defined when uploading the asset.

File extension

This will tell the service whether the file is meant for updates or initial installation.

OS X

Initial Installation

Accepted file extensions:

  • .dmg

Serving updates

Accepted file extensions:

  • .zip

Windows

Initial Installation

Accepted file extensions:

  • .exe

Serving updates

Accepted file extensions:

  • .nupkg

Important: only -full.nupkg files are currently supported. If you're confused, just upload the one that electron-builder made for you.

Note that you do not have to upload the RELEASES file because one will be generated upon request.

Linux

Initial Installation

Accepted file extensions:

  • .deb

Serving updates

The electron auto-updater does not support linux and neither does this.
