Publishing app with auto-updater doesn't work

[matildasmets]

I've linked my application to GitHub releases, where it builds the application when a new version is pushed. So it builds a new one, but it doesn't auto-update existing applications.

I am using a GitHub private repository, and I've put the PAT token as a secret token in the repository. I only push the token on build; this way, the token is not exposed, but in this way, it doesn't auto-update (I assume).

I am very new to NativePHP.

I only need the auto-updater here; it doesn't have to be super secure since it's an internal application. Just a few measures here and there. But for building other applications in the future, I would love to know how I can securely auto-update the application without exposing information to the person downloading it.

Could anyone help?

I also feel like the documentation is missing a lot about the auto-updater logic. It only contains the configuration and that's it. Would be great if it went more in depth (also security wise)
