App Example

What do we do to autoupdate (see example)

readRemoteManifest reads manifest from the remote release server
checkNewVersion( rManifest ) checks if the version in the remote manifest greater than one of the local manifest
If the remote manifest doesn't have newer version, skips the update flow
- We subscribe for download events
- We subscribe for install events
download( rManifest ) downloads the latest available release matching the host platform (according to the packages map of the remote manifest)
unpack( updateFile ) unpacks the release archive (zip or tar.gz) in a temporary directory
restartToSwap() closes the app and launches the downloaded release
isSwapRequest() - checks if we need to go the swap flow (while running in tmp and therefore having the initial app directory unlocked for writing)
swap() - backs up actual version and replaces it with the new one
restart() - restarts the updated app from its original location
