"electron-builder": "23.3.3", "electron-updater": "5.2.3", Does the appupdater.quitandinstall method support launching an application with a new name? There is a Mac application named A, and version 1.0.1 already exists. After changing its name to B, the automatic detection and upgrade can detect the new version 1.0.2 and download it, but it cannot be launched by itself. Why?

I think this is a limitation of electron itself as electron-updater simply forwards the quitAndInstall command to electron's native updater. Best guess is that the native updater restart logic assumes the same filename?
