Enum InstallKind 

pub enum InstallKind {
    MacApp(PathBuf),
    AppImage(PathBuf),
    Unknown,
}

How this copy of the app was installed, which decides the update path. An app self-updates where it can rewrite its own install; anything else opens the download page. (Some variants are only ever constructed on their platform.)

Variants

MacApp(PathBuf)

A macOS .app bundle at this path — rewrite its contents in place. Covers every macOS install, Homebrew casks included; how it got there doesn’t matter.

AppImage(PathBuf)

A running AppImage at this path (replace the file).

Unknown

An install that can’t be rewritten from inside the app — a root-owned distro package (.deb/.rpm), a Windows install, or a dev build. Falls back to opening the release page.
