Hi, I'm working on a KMP app.
The desktop side is kinda new to me and I wonder: is there any way I can implement an auto-update feature for it?
For example for the android side of things I use ackpine and feed it the new APK when I detect a new version is released on my server.
I'd like to achieve a similar behaviour for my desktop apps, I tried reading this without any success and learned about conveyor, which unfortunately is a paid product.
Thanks in advance!

This question seems to be very Android-centric, so it's probably better asked in #C0B8M7BUY. That said, I'm not sure it has anything to do with Kotlin at all, so an even better place to ask would be a general Android-developer chat.

Unless the question is whether there is a multiplatform-centred auto-update framework, for which I believe the answer is no.

@loke yes, I meant the second one
Is there a way I can implement it through Sparkle and WinSparkle with platform specific code or should I go the common way through a Java/Kotlin-based updater?

[loke]

I have no idea what sparkle is, but regardless, you need to deal with it outside the KMP ecosystem.

Unles someone built something that I don't know about.
