autoUpdater and S3 with Electron-Forge -> CICD works but app won't pick up updates

[strange drum]

I have an app that I need to set up autoUpdates for, and documentation is very sparse. I have a CICD pipeline going into main which pushes new changes to my bucket. It's getting my app to recognise changes which cannot seem to work out.
Are there any key points I need to look out for?

I saw some places say you need an update.yml file compiled to the bucket, some places say something else.
All I need is my app to get updates from my public facing bucket , ALC is enabled.

Thanks

Hi, I don't know what is wrong with your Forge setup off hand but if you can't make it work, check out #🏭・conveyor (https://hydraulic.dev/), it uses different auto update engines and can both upload to and update from S3 buckets. You may have more luck with that tool.

(disclosure: I made it).
