Lucas Fernandes Nogueira 4b1ba07943 fix(updater): report install as unsupported on mobile (#3695)
`#[cfg(mobile)] fn install_inner` returned `Ok(())` without doing anything.
`check` already fails with `UnsupportedOs` there unless a Rust caller sets a
custom target, in which case a download was followed by a successful
"install" that did nothing. It now returns `Error::UnsupportedOs`, the error
`check` uses.

Verified with clippy for aarch64-linux-android (the iOS build needs the Swift
package, which does not build here).

Install

This plugin requires a Rust version of at least 1.90

There are three general methods of installation that we can recommend.

  1. Use crates.io and npm (easiest, and requires you to trust that our publishing pipeline worked)
  2. Pull sources directly from Github using git tags / revision hashes (most secure)
  3. Git submodule install this repo in your tauri project and then use file protocol to ingest the source (most secure, but inconvenient to use)

Install the Core plugin by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

src-tauri/Cargo.toml

# you can add the dependencies on the `[dependencies]` section if you do not target mobile
[target."cfg(not(any(target_os = \"android\", target_os = \"ios\")))".dependencies]
tauri-plugin-updater = "2.0.0"
# alternatively with Git:
tauri-plugin-updater = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace", branch = "v2" }

You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater
# or
npm add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater
# or
yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater

Usage

First you need to register the core plugin with Tauri:

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

fn main() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .setup(|app| {
            #[cfg(desktop)]
            app.handle().plugin(tauri_plugin_updater::Builder::new().build())?;
            Ok(())
        })
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:

import { check } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-updater'
import { relaunch } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-process'
const update = await check()
if (update) {
  await update.downloadAndInstall()
  // Relaunch the app on macOS and Linux to run the newly install version
  await relaunch()
}

Note that for these APIs to work you have to properly configure the updater first and generate updater artifacts. Please refer to the guide on our website for this.
