[Feature Request]: Update the app inside of the app

[vermulst]

Preflight Checklist

• [X] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

There's so many updates, which is very nice, but it would be even nicer if you could update in the app.

Proposed Solution

When you start the youtube music app it asks you to update it and it would work within the app.

Alternatives Considered

.

Additional Information

I don't know if this is hard to implement at all.

I would also love to see this too

I've seen other apps implement the module electron-updater, and it works nicely

electron-updater does not work on macOS, because YTM-Desktop does not have a certificate.

@JellyBrick certificate costs somethng like 100-200 usd per year, right? (would developer version be enough?) few donations would paid that - if enough people would be interested But it would worked on Windows and Linux, that is like 2/3 of users, right?

just wondering if the update can be pushed thru homebrew?

[change-agent]

I second this – it is quite annoying to update the app. Even if the app opened a browser window and automatically downloaded the correct build, that would be more convenient.
