7 years ago Squirrel.Mac only works when your application is signed. This is documented.
http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/auto-updater/#macos
Note: Your application must be signed for automatic updates on macOS. This is a requirement of Squirrel.Mac.
Expected behavior
running well locally
Actual behavior
get this error: Uncaught Exception: Error: Could not get code signature for running application at Error (native) at autoUpdate (/Users/wangxi/workspace/micloud-pc/app/main.js:475:15) at Object. (/Users/wangxi/workspace/micloud-pc/app/main.js:62:1)

How to reproduce
Just run autoUpdate() in main.js and in autoUpdate, I did things like set feed url and also attach some update related events
