When the Alfred Gallery is live, added workflows will be updatable from within Alfred itself. As part of that, a prerequisite for inclusion will be that workflows not auto-update themselves. This is to avoid a confusing interaction of crossed updates and for security reasons, as Gallery workflows go through a number of checks.
Your development process won’t change. You’ll still make GitHub releases as usual to update the workflow. We’ll detect when new releases are out and queue them up for a new review and update in the Gallery.
This PR removes OneUpdater. Merging it now and making a new release helps to speed up the process, but if you prefer to wait I’ll ping you again once the Gallery is live. It’s also fine if you prefer to close the PR and do the change yourself.
