Without more details on how it fails I'm not sure I can be of much help. Generally speaking you should not be seeing any differences in behavior between stock Electron and ECS, except that you are effectively waiting for the CDM to become available the you call components.whenReady().

For the issue that you are seeing, what is the effect of the update in more detail? The old instance quits and tries to relaunch, but hangs? Fails to execue at all with some error? Something else?

I don't have much information either, there is no error message, it just closes the old instance and doesn't relaunch, there is no indication of a crash.

The output messages log are:

New version 0.0.9 has been downloaded to /home/user/.cache/app/pending/app-0.0.9.AppImage
Update downloaded; will install in 5 seconds.
Install on explicit quitAndInstall
Install: isSilent: false, isForceRunAfter: true
Update installer has already been triggered. Quitting application.

Stopped working when changing Electron to ECS, even the components.whenReady() call.

Thanks for trying

But the updated version is possible to launch manually?

Yes
