the archive has two files: AppImage itself and the Updater

Please do provide the individual AppImage files. The reason are explained at https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Creating-AppImages/cc2441518975caca23e9ce2dba6f08a22c678d1e#common-mistake

Thank you very much.

Repeating that won't make Updater disappear.

You could provide the updater as a separate download, or you could build the updater into the main applicationn AppImage and call it from the main application's menu (e.g., "Update" button in the About box or something simiilar).

Well, personally I think that tar.xz is fine, so I don't really want to work on adapting the updater for running inside of the AppImage (but if you want, feel free to open a PR). Providing the updater as a separate download doesn't seem a good option to me.
