macOS auto-update without extra zip file

[develar]

There is no any reason to require ZIP file. DMG should be enough.

Stay tuned — delta updates using DMG files are coming next week :)

Will it matter if I have installed my app via pkg?

[develar]

You can ask us to support pkg but... #1728 (comment) Depends on user demand / donation.

To make clear — when this feature will be implemented, it will be very easy to support virtually any format, including pkg. Not because our position about DMG is changed, but because of backward compatibility (need to support both zip and DMG, so, old clients will be able to update).

@develar i think this feature has broken zip auto update. Right now i am building my app with only zip on mac, and since this my latest.yml is not generated anymore
I pinpointed the issue to come from here:

electron-builder/packages/electron-builder/src/macPackager.ts

Line 68 in 58179b7

mapper(name, outDir => new ArchiveTarget(name, outDir, this, targets.some(it => it === "dmg") && (electronUpdaterCompatibility == null || semver.satisfies("2.16.0", electronUpdaterCompatibility))))

The ArchiveTarget is called with isWriteUpdateInfo to false, so my latest.yml is not generated anymore
