Update signature in server JSON

[jb-alvarado]

Hello,
I very new to tauri and found now the updater function. I have already setup my github action, to create releases and upload them. But now I would like to automate the passing of the right signature.

Is it possible to create the JSON like:

{
    "version": "v0.1.4",
    "notes": "",
    "pub_date": "2023-01-19T10:48:21Z",
    "platforms": {
        "darwin-x86_64": {
            "signature": "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v0.1.4/my_app.app.tar.gz.sig",
            "url": "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v0.1.4/my_app.app.tar.gz"
        },
        "linux-x86_64": {
            "signature": "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v0.1.4/my_app_v0.1.4_amd64.AppImage.tar.gz.sig",
            "url": "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v0.1.4/my_app_v0.1.4_amd64.AppImage.tar.gz "
        },
        "windows-x86_64": {
            "signature": "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v0.1.4/my_app_0.1.4_x64_en-US.msi.zip.sig",
            "url": "https://github.com/user/repo/releases/download/v0.1.4/my_app_0.1.4_x64_en-US.msi.zip"
        }
    }
}

Or how do you fill this signature automatically?

If you use tauri-action from git (via tauri-apps/tauri-action@dev) it can automatically generate this file for you, there mayyy be some bugs that still need to be ironed out.

Also, the signature is not an url or path to the .sig, but the actual content of that file as a string!

Thank you for your replay! Yes I know, that this *.sig files are generated automatically, they are also uploaded to my release page.

But at the moment, I have to download this *.sig files, open them in a text editor and copy the string to the JSON. This step would be nice, if there is a way to automate it :-).

Yeah like i said, you can use tauri-action's dev branch which does that for you, or you can read it's source code to write your own script that can do this. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-action/blob/dev/packages/action/src/upload-version-json.ts
