I'm unwilling to spend over a thousand dollars to form an LLC and get an extended validation certificate to sign my code, which the docs claim is necessary. Does anyone have a suggestion (with proof that it works) for a cheaper way of doing it?
#Cheaper way to publish to update.electronjs.org

windows, i presume?

supposedly, per one of the maintainers, this is a documentation issue. I'd like to set this issue aside for the time being until that documentation update can occur.

i have plenty of experiences with shipping EV signed windows apps
you dont have to use EV signing, but users will get UAC prompts without it. and some browsers are finnicky.
as far as publishing to update.electronjs.org though -- that i havent done
if they require an EV cert to publish updates via that, then sadly there isn't a cheap way of doing it. you can form an LLC in some states for very cheap, but the certificates are expensive

I'm in CA, LLCs here are very expensive. the certs, in comparison, are fairly cheap honestly. but yeah, if it turns out you're not obligated to sign your code with an organizational key, that'd fix my issue.

yeah CA sux for that, you can find a service to register one in delaware for less
