## **Question:**

Will auto updates work on both macOS and Windows with the Seed Project? Do they depend on the platform mode (Default vs Advanced)?

## **Answer:**

Yes. Auto updates are supported on **both Windows and macOS** when you build io.Connect Desktop via the **Seed Project** , as long as you ship the supported artifact types: **Squirrel `.exe` installer on Windows** and **`.dmg` disk image on macOS**. Portable ZIP on Windows, ZIP on macOS do not support auto updates. Docs: [io.Connect Desktop Documentation - Seed Project](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/developers/seed-project/index.html#building_for_production-auto_updates)

Auto updates are **not tied to the platform mode**.  
– On **Windows** , you can use auto updates with both Default and Advanced platform modes, as long as you build an EXE installer via the Seed Project.  
– On **macOS** , auto updates work with the Default platform mode (Advanced mode is Windows-only) when you ship a DMG built via the Seed Project.
