401 Unauthorized seems like a local configuration issue, not intrinsic to electron-builder. Are you adding the proper authentication credentials/token to your request?

[stoefln]

I think so. This is how I publish the app. Might the problem be that I am publishing the windows build via a Mac? This is my script: "publish-win": "cross-env GH_TOKEN=ghp_EpHxyz CSC_LINK=../Certificates/yyy-certificate.p12 CSC_KEY_PASSWORD=xyz DEBUG=electron-builder EP_GH_IGNORE_TIME=true electron-builder build --win --x64 --publish always",

Are you adding the proper authentication credentials/token to your request?

Hm, not really sure I know what you are talking about...?

[mmaietta]

GH_TOKEN is only used for publishing. It is not stored in the package. So if you're needing to update from any server requiring authentication, you'll need to use autoUpdater.addAuthHeader(...)

[stoefln]

I am not aware that I would need any auth for the server. Take a look here, it's public: https://github.com/stoefln/repeato-releases/releases/tag/v1.1.0
