lidel/electron-updater-altschmerz#1 demonstrated that autoInstallOnAppQuit works fine on Windows, but we had a bunch of code responsible for doing it manually, probably due to macOS not being supported natively by autoInstallOnAppQuit.

Docs for electron-updater 4.3.5 state:

Screenshot_2020-10-09 Auto Update - electron-builder

Due to this, the fix from #1679 was not applied correctly: macOS-specific handling executed first and broke updates on Windows.

This PR ensures that macOS keeps using the old upgrade paths, but Windows and AppImage leverage upstream code for applying upgrades.

Closes #1570 and most likely closes #1630 too.

Sadly this last mile is specific to our codebase and won't fix old versions.

To properly test this we need to tag v0.13.1 and v0.13.2 and do quick smoke test by installing v0.13.1 and testing if it upgrades fine to v0.13.2.

  • Autoupdate on Windows does not require signing, so I'll try to do the above test in the fork at lidel/ipfs-desktop first.

Ok, tested this on Windows with my fork and both per user and per all users upgraded correctly on Windows.
There should be no change to behaviour on macOS.

not sure what was the purpose of e.preventDefault(), but it seemed to interfere with autoInstallOnAppQuit on Windows
