Trouble figuring out auto update for my mods in Reloaded II

[prime sphinx]

I've followed https://animatedswine37.github.io/persona-modding-docs/getting-started/publishing-a-mod.html and https://animatedswine37.github.io/persona-modding-docs/getting-started/publishing-a-mod.html in efforts to try to enable auto updates for my mods in persona 4 https://gamebanana.com/mods/536326 (and persona 3 reload https://gamebanana.com/mods/496146) but despite my efforts nothing has worked until now. I believe it has something to do with the .json files created in the publishing step?

I checked the P4G mod and I see nothing wrong. Have you verified that it is not actually updating properly?
(I also wonder if the two downloads being present there is messing with the auto update)

[fading willow]

yeah works fine for me 🤷
I would probably update that mod to clean up the downloads a bit but otherwise I don't think there's any issues

I believe that the problem was that the releasemetadata that I mistakenly choose was
set to default (I thought default meant gamebanana)

Setting it to default creates a releasemetadata.json**.br**, (inside it there is what I believe are chinese letters?)
Anyways, I thought that the .br part was a reloaded bug and renamed it.

I downloaded another mod that had working auto update and saw that the release metadata was fine

So I choose gamebanana in the publish target and the release metadata worked.
