Hi @adil192, thanks for submitting.
Now I am curious: The squashfs image inside this AppImage uses xz compression, whereas we normally use zlib (old) or zstd (new). Did you make this choice intentionally?

[adil192]

That might be because I'm using appimage-builder. My recipe doesn't say anything about xz compression

[probonopd]

OK, thanks. @azubieta would you know the answer?

[azubieta]

Hi, sorry for the late response. I have been quite busy lately. The xz format was set at some point because it showed better compression ratios. We could make it configurable if needed.

@probonopd Does this link auto update?

Ideally, the file in data/ contains a link to https://github.com/User/App/ (not to a specific AppImage!), and if the AppImage follows the standard nomenclature, then https://github.com/User/App/releases/whatever/App-1.0-x86_64.AppImage, https://github.com/User/App/releases/whatever/App-1.1-x86_64.AppImage,... will automatically be picked up.

@probonopd Does this link auto update?

Only if the GitHub repository and AppImage file follow standard naming. E.g.,

• github.com/MyName/MyApp
• MyApp-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage

@probonopd Do you know why the test is failing? I can't see any errors in its output
