Different approach to self-update

[ap1969]

Hi, looking to see if this is feasible.

I use capacitorjs for mobile apps, which again is a binary with webview.

It's possible to do frontend updates to capacitor by

A. Downloading a new zip of the Web app
B. Extracting that to a folder
C. Pointing webview to that folder

Is something similar possible with Wails?

Regards,
Andy

Not unless you want to ship your application assets outside of the binary which is not how Wails works (currently).
