Using Github as update location in ClickOnce

MyTechApplications commented 2 years ago

Hi, so I created a simple app versioned 1.0.0.0 and published it to a local path via clickonce and set the update location to a github repository. Now I've made changes to the app and it is now versioned 1.0.0.1. I've uploaded the updated files of the app (Version 1.0.0.1) to a public Github repository. I have installed Version 1.0.0.0 on my PC and now when opening it, it throws an error saying that: Following errors were detected during this operation.

[08-01-2022 08:42:23] System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (ManifestParse)
Exception reading manifest from https://github.com/MyTechApplications/MyPC/blob/main/MyPCInfo.application: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened. Kindly help!

Hmm,

I've never tried publishing to GitHub, but there's no reason I can think of that it would be different to any other URL.

I'll try to repro this weekend.

Hi, did you create private or public repo? As I understood only public repo can be used.
