* ci: use hermetic mac SDK for the release ffmpeg build
gn gen out/ffmpeg runs as a raw gn invocation, so it never receives the
mac_sdk_path arg that e build injects for out/Default. On macOS runners
that means out/Default builds against the hermetic build-tools SDK while
out/ffmpeg falls through to the runner's system Xcode SDK. Reuse the
value e build already wrote so both builds share the same sysroot.

* ci: copy hermetic SDK symlink into out/ffmpeg and rewrite path
mac_sdk_path must live under root_build_dir, so pointing out/ffmpeg at
//out/Default/... doesn't work. Copy the xcode_links symlink tree into
out/ffmpeg and rewrite the path. Gate on Darwin so Windows/Linux don't
run the sed/cp at all.

ci: make src-cache upload atomic and sweep orphaned temp files
The checkout action's cp of the ~6GB zstd archive directly to the final
path on the cache share is non-atomic; an interrupted copy or a
concurrent reader produces zstd "Read error (39): premature end" on
restore, and the truncated file then satisfies the existence check so
no later run repairs it.
Upload to a run-unique *.tar.upload-<run_id>-<attempt> temp name on the
share and mv to the final path, discarding our temp if a concurrent run
got there first. A new clean-orphaned-cache-uploads workflow removes
temp files older than 4h every 4 hours.

build: derive patches upstream-head ref from script path (#50727)
* build: derive patches upstream-head ref from script path
gclient-new-workdir.py symlinks each repo's .git/refs back to the source
checkout, so the fixed refs/patches/upstream-head was shared across all
worktrees. Parallel `e sync` runs in different worktrees clobbered each
other's upstream-head, breaking `e patches` and check-patch-diff.
Suffix the ref with an md5 of the script directory so each worktree writes
a distinct ref into the shared refs dir. Fall back to the legacy ref name
in guess_base_commit so existing checkouts keep working until next sync.
* fixup: also write legacy upstream-head ref and note it in docs

call install-dependencies. The 64k variant uses pre-built artifacts
and does not install deps.
fix: propagate requesting frame through sync permission checks (#50679)
WebContentsPermissionHelper::CheckPermission was hardcoding
GetPrimaryMainFrame() and deriving the requesting origin from
web_contents_->GetLastCommittedURL(), so the setPermissionCheckHandler
callback always received the top frame's origin and
details.isMainFrame/details.requestingUrl always reflected the main
frame, even when a cross-origin subframe with allow="serial" or
allow="camera; microphone" triggered the check.
Thread the requesting RenderFrameHost through CheckPermission,
CheckSerialAccessPermission, and CheckMediaAccessPermission so the
permission manager receives the real requesting frame. Update the
serial delegate and WebContents::CheckMediaAccessPermission callers to
pass the frame they already have.
Adds a regression test that loads a cross-origin iframe with
allow="camera; microphone", calls enumerateDevices() from within the
iframe, and asserts the permission check handler receives the iframe
origin for requestingOrigin, isMainFrame, and requestingUrl.
ci: zstd-compress the src cache and drop the doubled win_toolchain (#50702)
* ci: shrink src cache and fix Windows tar cleanup
- Exclude platform-specific toolchains (llvm-build, rust-toolchain) from
the src cache; all platforms now fetch them via fix-sync post-restore
- Exclude unused test data and benchmarks: blink/web_tests, jetstream,
speedometer, catapult/tracing/test_data, swiftshader/tests/regres
- Fix Windows restore leaving the tarball on disk after extraction
($src_cache was scoped to the previous PowerShell step)
- Bump src-cache key v1 -> v2
* ci: fetch llvm/rust toolchains in gn-check and clang-tidy
These workflows restore the src cache but don't run fix-sync. Now that
llvm-build and rust-toolchain are excluded from the cache, they need to
download them directly — gn gen read_file()s both, and clang-tidy runs
the binary from llvm-build.
* ci: fetch clang-tidy package explicitly
update.py's default 'clang' package doesn't include the clang-tidy
binary; it ships as a separate package.
* ci: preserve blink/web_tests/BUILD.gn when stripping test data
//BUILD.gn references //third_party/blink/web_tests:wpt_tests as a
target label, so the BUILD.gn must exist for gn gen. The data = [...]
entries it declares are runtime-only and not existence-checked at gen
time, so the actual test directories can still be removed.
* ci: compress src cache with zstd and drop gclient sync -vv
The src cache was an uncompressed tar (~16GB after exclusions). Switch
to zstd -T0 --long=30 for ~4x smaller transfer and multi-threaded
compression. Decompress on restore:
- Linux/macOS: zstd -d -c | tar -xf -
- Windows: zstd -d to an intermediate .tar, then the existing 7z
-snld20 extraction (preserves symlink handling)
All filename references updated .tar -> .tar.zst. -f added to the two
-o invocations so re-runs overwrite instead of failing.
Also drop -vv from gclient sync; default verbosity is sufficient.
* ci: keep .tar extension for src cache (zstd content inside)
The sas-sidecar that issues Azure SAS tokens validates filenames against
/^v[0-9]+-[a-z\-]+-[a-f0-9]+\.(tar|tgz)$/ and is not easily redeployed,
so keep the .tar extension and decode zstd on restore. Windows
decompresses to a distinct intermediate (src_cache.tar) so input and
output don't collide.
* ci: log NTFS 8.3/lastaccess/Defender state before Windows cache extract
Temporary diagnostics to see whether 8.3 short-name generation is the
cause of the ~20 min tar extraction.
* ci: revert src-cache exclusion additions
The new exclusions (web_tests contents, jetstream, speedometer,
catapult test_data, regres, llvm-build, rust-toolchain) caused siso/RBE
cache misses — even data-only deps are part of action input hashes.
Revert to the original exclusion list and drop the corresponding
toolchain-fetch plumbing. zstd compression, the Windows tar cleanup,
and the -vv removal remain.
* ci: drop win_toolchain from src cache; remove NTFS diagnostics
The Windows src cache includes 14.6GB of depot_tools/win_toolchain —
7.3GB of MSVC/SDK doubled because tar captures both the vs_files.ciopfs
backing store and the live ciopfs mount at vs_files/. Every Windows
cache consumer already re-fetches this via vs_toolchain.py update
--force (fix-sync for build/publish, inline for gn-check/clang-tidy),
so the cached copy is never used.
Diagnostics removed — CI confirmed 8dot3, last-access, and Defender are
all already off on the AKS Windows nodes.
* ci: unmount ciopfs vs_files before removing win_toolchain
vs_files is a live ciopfs mount during the win-targeted checkout; rm -rf
fails with EBUSY until it's unmounted.
* ci: skip win_toolchain download during checkout instead of removing after
fusermount isn't on the checkout container, so the ciopfs mount can't be
torn down before rm. Setting DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 makes the
win_toolchain hook a no-op (vs_toolchain.py:525-527), so there's no
download and no mount. All Windows consumers re-fetch it post-restore
anyway. The rm -rf stays as a safety net.
* ci: also set ELECTRON_DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 for checkout sync
build.yml sets ELECTRON_DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=1 at the job level for
the Windows checkout, which makes e d inject DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=1
and override the inline =0. Need both: the ELECTRON_ var stops e d from
overriding, the plain one stops vs_toolchain.py from defaulting to 1.
* ci: extract Windows src cache with piped tar instead of 7z
7z takes ~20 min to extract the ~1.1M-entry tar regardless of size —
~1ms per entry of header parsing and path handling, single-threaded,
well under the 75k IOPS / 1000 MBps the ephemeral disk can do. Switch
to the same zstd -d | tar -xf - pipe used on Linux/macOS (via Git Bash
tar). No intermediate src_cache.tar, download deleted after extract.
The -snld20 flag was working around 7z's own "dangerous symlink"
refusal; GNU tar extracts symlinks as-is so it shouldn't be needed.
* ci: keep depot_tools/win_toolchain scripts in src cache
The rm -rf removed get_toolchain_if_necessary.py (a depot_tools source
file), breaking vs_toolchain.py update --force on restore.
DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 on the sync already prevents the vs_files
download, so the rm was only removing scripts.
* ci: split src cache into 4 parallel-extractable shards
Windows tar extraction is ~1ms/entry for ~1.2M entries (~20 min)
regardless of tool, well under the 75k IOPS / 1000 MBps the D16lds_v5
ephemeral disk can do. Tar is a sequential stream so the only way to
parallelize is to split at creation time.
Shards (balanced by entry count, ~220-360k each):
a: src/third_party/blink
b: src/third_party/{dawn,electron_node,tflite,devtools-frontend}
c: src/third_party (rest)
d: src (excluding third_party)
DEPSHASH is now the raw hash; shard files are
v2-src-cache-shard-{a..d}-${DEPSHASH}.tar (all pass the sas-sidecar
filename regex). sas-token is now a JSON keyed by shard letter. All
restore paths extract the four shards in parallel with per-PID wait so
a failed shard aborts the step.
* Revert "ci: split src cache into 4 parallel-extractable shards"
This reverts commit 970574998b.
fix-sync re-downloads llvm-build on macOS/Windows with the base clang
and objdump packages, but not clang-tidy. A local gclient sync pulls
clang-tidy (checkout_clang_tidy=True in DEPS), so CI's llvm-build tree
diverges from a local one. siso hashes the toolchain as action input,
so cache-only local runs against the CI-populated RBE cache miss.

The `OnTraceBufferUsageAvailable` callback creates V8 handles via
`Dictionary::CreateEmpty()` before `promise.Resolve()` enters its
`SettleScope` (which provides a `HandleScope`). When the callback
fires asynchronously from a Mojo response (i.e. when a trace session
is active), there is no `HandleScope` on the stack, causing a fatal
V8 error: "Cannot create a handle without a HandleScope".
Add an explicit `v8::HandleScope` at the top of the callback, matching
the pattern used by the other contentTracing APIs which resolve their
promises through `SettleScope` or the static `ResolvePromise` helper.

ci: upload patch conflict fix as artifact in apply-patches
When patch-up.js cannot auto-push the 3-way-merged patch diff (e.g. on
fork PRs), the checkout action already writes patches/update-patches.patch
and tells the user to check CI artifacts — but nothing was uploading it.
This adds the missing upload-artifact step to the apply-patches job so
the resolved diff is available for download, and documents in CLAUDE.md
that pulling this artifact and applying it with `git am` is the fast
path for fixing patch conflicts on PR branches without a full local sync.

The frameNamesToWindow map was a holdover from the BrowserWindowProxy
IPC shim. Since nativeWindowOpen became the only code path, Blink's
FrameTree::FindOrCreateFrameForNavigation resolves named window targets
directly in the renderer, scoped to the opener's browsing context
group. When a matching named window exists, Blink navigates it without
ever sending a CreateNewWindow IPC to the browser, so this map was
never consulted in the legitimate same-opener case.
The only time the map found a match was when two unrelated renderers
happened to use the same target name, in which case openGuestWindow
would short-circuit before consuming the guest WebContents that
Chromium had already created for the new window, leaking it.
Adds a test verifying Blink handles same-opener named-target reuse
end-to-end without any browser-side tracking.

The weak persistent tracking the OffscreenReleaseHolderMonitor was tied
to the texture object, but the release() closure holds a raw pointer to
the monitor via its v8::External data. If JS retained texture.release
while dropping the texture itself, the monitor would be freed on GC and
a later release() call would crash.
Track the release function instead of the texture object. Since the
texture holds release as a property, this keeps the monitor alive as
long as either is reachable.

* fix: read nodeIntegrationInWorker from per-frame WebPreferences (#50122)
Previously the renderer checked a process-wide command-line switch to
decide whether to create a Node.js environment for dedicated workers.
When a renderer process hosted multiple WebContents with different
nodeIntegrationInWorker values (e.g. via window.open with overridden
webPreferences in setWindowOpenHandler), all workers in the process
used whichever value the first WebContents set on the command line.
Instead, plumb the flag through blink's WorkerSettings at worker
creation time, copying it from the initiating frame's WebPreferences.
The check on the worker thread then reads the per-worker value. Nested
workers inherit the flag from their parent worker via
WorkerSettings::Copy.
The --node-integration-in-worker command-line switch is removed as it
is no longer consumed.
* fix: restore base/command_line.h include needed by SetUpWebAssemblyTrapHandler
The backported PR removed this include (matching main where
SetUpWebAssemblyTrapHandler was refactored), but on 39-x-y the function

fix: preserve staged update dir when pruning orphaned update dirs on macOS
The previous squirrel.mac patch cleaned up all staged update directories
before starting a new download. This kept disk usage bounded but broke
quitAndInstall() if called while a subsequent checkForUpdates() was in
flight — the already-staged bundle would be deleted out from under it.
This reworks the patch to read ShipItState.plist and preserve the
directory it references, deleting only truly orphaned update.XXXXXXX
directories. Disk footprint stays bounded (at most 2 dirs: staged +
in-progress) and quitAndInstall() remains safe mid-check.
Also adds test coverage for the quitAndInstall/checkForUpdates race and
a triple-stack scenario where 3 updates arrive without a restart.

* fix: prevent traffic light buttons flashing on deminiaturize
When a window with a custom `trafficLightPosition` is minimized and
restored, macOS re-layouts the title bar container during the
deminiaturize animation, causing the traffic light buttons to briefly

Fix this by hiding the buttons container in `windowWillMiniaturize` and
restoring them (with a redraw to the correct position) in
`windowDidDeminiaturize`.

fix: bind offscreen paint callback to child WebContents
Previously, MaybeOverrideCreateParamsForNewWindow bound the
OffScreenWebContentsView's paint callback to the parent WebContents
using base::Unretained(this). This was both unsafe (dangling pointer
risk if the parent is destroyed before the child) and semantically
incorrect — paint events belong to the child window, not the opener.
Replace the callback in MaybeOverrideCreateParamsForNewWindow with
base::DoNothing(), then rebind it to the child WebContents in
AddNewContents via a new SetCallback method on OffScreenWebContentsView.

fix: validate protocol scheme names in setAsDefaultProtocolClient
On Windows, `app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient(protocol)` directly
concatenates the protocol string into the registry key path with no
validation. A protocol name containing `\` could write to an arbitrary
subkey under `HKCU\Software\Classes\`, potentially hijacking existing
protocol handlers.
To fix this, add `Browser::IsValidProtocolScheme()` which validates that a protocol
name conforms to the RFC 3986 scheme grammar:
scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." )
This rejects backslashes, forward slashes, whitespace, and any other
characters not permitted in URI schemes.

* fix: use requesting frame origin instead of top-level URL for permissions
`WebContentsPermissionHelper::RequestPermission` passes
`web_contents_->GetLastCommittedURL()` as the origin to the permission
manager instead of the actual requesting frame's origin. This enables
origin confusion when granting permissions to embedded third-party iframes,
since app permission handlers see the top-level origin instead of the
iframe's. The same pattern exists in the HID, USB, and Serial device
choosers, where grants are keyed to the primary main frame's origin rather
than the requesting frame's.
Fix this by using `requesting_frame->GetLastCommittedOrigin()` in all
affected code paths, renaming `details.requestingUrl` to
`details.requestingOrigin`, and populating it with the serialized
origin only.

* chore: keep requestingUrl name in permission handler details
The previous commit changed the details.requestingUrl field to
details.requestingOrigin in permission request/check handlers. That

property. Revert to requestingUrl to preserve the existing API shape.
The functional changes to use the requesting frame in
WebContentsPermissionHelper and the HID/USB/Serial choosers remain.

PowerMonitor registered OS-level callbacks (HWND UserData and
WTS/suspend notifications on Windows, shutdown handler and lock-screen
observer on macOS) but never cleaned them up in its destructor. The JS
layer also only held the native object in a closure-local variable,
allowing GC to reclaim it while those registrations still referenced
freed memory.
Retain the native PowerMonitor at module level in power-monitor.ts so
it cannot be garbage-collected. Add DestroyPlatformSpecificMonitors()
to properly tear down OS registrations on destruction: on Windows,
unregister WTS and suspend notifications, clear GWLP_USERDATA, and
destroy the HWND; on macOS, remove the emitter from the global
MacLockMonitor and reset the Browser shutdown handler.

Previously, when trashItemAtURL: failed (e.g. on network shares or
under app translocation), the code fell back to constructing an
AppleScript that interpolated the bundle path directly into a string
literal via %@ with no escaping. This was fragile and unnecessary —
trashItemAtURL: has been the standard API since 10.8 and covers the
relevant cases. The fix simply removes the AppleScript fallback
entirely, so Trash() now returns the result of trashItemAtURL: directly.

EnterFullscreenModeForTab, RequestPointerLock, and RequestKeyboardLock
bind callbacks with base::Unretained(this); fullscreen also captures a
raw RenderFrameHost*. These callbacks may be invoked by the app's JS
permission handler after the WebContents or RenderFrameHost is destroyed.
Use GetWeakPtr() in all three call sites, and capture a
GlobalRenderFrameHostToken instead of the raw RenderFrameHost* for
fullscreen so the pointer is resolved and null-checked only when the
callback fires. Cancel in-flight permission requests from ~WebContents()
via a new ElectronPermissionManager::CancelPendingRequests()` so stale
callbacks are never handed back to JS.

The setter branch was deriving source_context from getter-> instead of
setter->. Currently latent since the only call site passes both from
the same preload context, but this would crash or mis-resolve if a
future call site passed a setter without a getter or from a different
context.

fix: authenticate curl requests to googlesource in lint workflow
The "Download GN Binary" and "Download clang-format Binary" steps
fetch files from chromium.googlesource.com without passing
authentication cookies. When googlesource rate-limits or returns a
transient error (502), the HTML error page is piped into `base64 -d`,
causing `base64: invalid input`.
The `set-chromium-cookie` action already configures `~/.gitcookies`
in a prior step. Pass `-b ~/.gitcookies` to both `curl` calls so
they authenticate, matching what the cookie verification step itself
does.

ElectronRendererClient::DidCreateScriptContext (and the worker
equivalent) save Blink's fetch/Response/FormData/Request/Headers/
EventSource as temporary globalThis.blink* properties before Node
initialization may overwrite them. node/init.ts and worker/init.ts
restore the originals but previously never deleted the temporary
blink* globals.
They persisted as non-standard global pollution visible to page
content when contextIsolation is disabled -- a minor fingerprinting
signal and a bypass for any preload that wraps window.fetch (page
could call blinkfetch() instead).

Inside gtk_util::GdkPixbufFromSkBitmap, g_bytes_new() was called
inline as an argument to gdk_pixbuf_new_from_bytes(), which per
GTK docs does not take ownership of the GBytes - it adds its own
internal reference. The caller's GBytes* was never stored or
unreffed, leaking 4 x width x height bytes of pixel data on every
call.

* Revert "fix: fix Windows MSIX release build errors (#49613)"
This reverts commit 4b5d5f9dd5.
Co-authored-by: Keeley Hammond <khammond@slack-corp.com>
* refactor: use WRL ComPtr pattern for MSIX to avoid exception handling
The MSIX auto-updater code was using C++/WinRT (winrt::* namespace), which requires exception handling (/EHsc). Mixing exception and non-exception handling code in the same binary is problematic at runtime. This commit refactors electron_api_msix_updater.cc to use an upstream Chromium pattern and eliminates the need for special exception handling build flags

fix: clean up old staged updates before downloading new update
When checkForUpdates() is called while an update is already staged,
Squirrel creates a new temporary directory for the download without
cleaning up the old one. This can lead to disk usage growth when
new versions are released while the app hasn't restarted.
This adds a force parameter to pruneUpdateDirectories that bypasses
the AwaitingRelaunch state check. This is called before creating a
new temp directory, ensuring old staged updates are cleaned up.

docs: Update shell.md: Document that shell.trashItem requires backslashes
In Windows many functions relating to files (e.g. shell.openItem, the Node fs functions, as well as native Win32 APIs) will accept either type of slash / or \ as a folder separator.
shell.trashItem does not work with / as folder separator in Windows. This documentation change explains that.

Starting from Chromium 134.0.6989.0 (Electron 35.0.0-beta.5), the
NativeWidgetMacNSWindow class overrides accessibilityDocument to return
the web content URL from the accessibility tree, but doesn't fall back
to NSWindow's default behavior when that URL is empty.
This broke Electron's setRepresentedFilename() API - the file path was
still set on the NSWindow, but no longer exposed via the AXDocument
accessibility attribute that screen readers use.
This fix adds an accessibilityDocument override in ElectronNSWindow that
checks representedFilename first, falling back to Chromium's behavior
for web content URLs.

In 6399527761 we changed the path strings
that `node_modules.cc` operates on from single-byte to wide strings.
Unfortunately this means that `generic_path()` that the
"fix: ensure TraverseParent bails on resource path exit" patch was
calling was no longer a safe method to call on Windows if the underlying
string has unicode characters in it.
Here we fix it by using `ConvertGenericPathToUTF8` from the Node.js
internal utilities.

* docs(timelines): Correct v40.0.0 stable release date
On the Electron Timelines tutorial page (/docs/latest/tutorial/electron-timelines), there is a clear typo in the release schedule for v40.0.0.
The table currently lists the dates as:
* Alpha: 2025-Oct-30
* Beta: 2025-Dec-03
* **Stable: 2025-Oct-28**
This is logically incorrect, as the 'Stable' release date (Oct 28) is listed *before* both the 'Alpha' (Oct 30) and 'Beta' (Dec 03) dates for the same version.
This appears to be a copy-paste error, as the 'Stable' date (2025-Oct-28) is identical to the 'Stable' date for the v39.0.0 release in the preceding row.
This commit updates the 'Stable' date for v40.0.0 to its correct value, ensuring the timeline is accurate and logical.

`bringToFront` DevTools message is sent when breakpoint is triggered
or inspect is called and Chromium upon this message activates DevTools
via `DevToolsUIBindings::Delegate::ActivateWindow`:
```
void DevToolsWindow::ActivateWindow() {
if (life_stage_ != kLoadCompleted)
return;
\#if BUILDFLAG(IS_ANDROID)
NOTIMPLEMENTED();
\#else
if (is_docked_ && GetInspectedBrowserWindow())
main_web_contents_->Focus();
else if (!is_docked_ && browser_ && !browser_->window()->IsActive())
browser_->window()->Activate();
\#endif
}
```
which implements: `DevToolsUIBindings::Delegate::ActivateWindow`.
Electron also implements this interface in:
`electron::InspectableWebContents`. However it was only setting
a zoom level, therefore this commit extends it with activation
of the DevTools.
Only supported for DevTools manged by `electron::InspectableWebContents`.

We overriden the `GetPackageJSON` in Node.js to let us read files
straight from the ASAR file instead of disk. The override works by
providing a JS method with the limitation that it should not throw a
runtime error. However, this invariant was accidentally violated by
`asar.splitPath` that sometimes contrary to its' TypeScript definition
returned `false`.

fix: macOS stop overriding private cornerMask API to fix WindowServer GPU load spike
Electron fetched a custom `_cornerMask` for `ElectronNSWindow` to smooth
vibrancy corners. On macOS 15 (Tahoe) that private hook forces the window
shadow to be rendered from a fully transparent surface, causing the
WindowServer GPU load regression. Remove the `cornerMask` property and
the `_cornerMask` override so we stay on Apple’s default shadow path.

Electron embeds Chromium (rendering) and Node.js (backend) to enable desktop apps with web technologies. The parent directory (`../`) is the Chromium source tree.
### Process Model
Electron has two primary process types, mirroring Chromium:
- **Renderer process** (`shell/renderer/` + `lib/renderer/`): Runs web content in BrowserWindows
### Native ↔ JavaScript Bridge
Each API is implemented as a C++/JS pair:
- C++ side: `shell/browser/api/electron_api_{name}.cc/.h` — uses `gin::Wrappable` and `ObjectTemplateBuilder`
- JS side: `lib/browser/api/{name}.ts` — exports the module, registered in `lib/browser/api/module-list.ts`
- Binding: `NODE_LINKED_BINDING_CONTEXT_AWARE(electron_browser_{name}, Initialize)` in C++ and registered in `shell/common/node_bindings.cc`
- Type declaration: `typings/internal-ambient.d.ts` maps `process._linkedBinding('electron_browser_{name}')`
### Patches System
Electron patches upstream dependencies (Chromium, Node.js, V8, etc.) rather than forking them. Patches live in `patches/` organized by target, with `patches/config.json` mapping directories to repos.

### Windows
On Windows, you have to install your app into a user's machine before you can
use the `autoUpdater`, so it is recommended that you use
[electron-winstaller][installer-lib] or [Electron Forge's Squirrel.Windows maker][electron-forge-lib] to generate a Windows installer.
On Windows, the `autoUpdater` module automatically selects the appropriate update mechanism
based on how your app is packaged:
* **MSIX packages**: If your app is running as an MSIX package (created with [electron-windows-msix][msix-lib] and detected via [`process.windowsStore`](process.md#processwindowsstore-readonly)),
the module uses the MSIX updater, which supports direct MSIX file links and JSON update feeds.
***Squirrel.Windows**: For apps installed via traditional installers (created with
[electron-winstaller][installer-lib] or [Electron Forge's Squirrel.Windows maker][electron-forge-lib]),
the module uses Squirrel.Windows for updates.
You don't need to configure which updater to use; Electron automatically detects the packaging
format and uses the appropriate one.
#### Squirrel.Windows
Apps built with Squirrel.Windows will trigger [custom launch events](https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/blob/51f5e2cb01add79280a53d51e8d0cfa20f8c9f9f/docs/using/custom-squirrel-events-non-cs.md#application-startup-commands)

`desktopCapturer.getSources(options)` only returns a single source on Linux when using Pipewire.
PipeWire supports a single capture for both screens and windows. If you request the window and screen type, the selected source will be returned as a window capture.
`navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia` does not work on macOS for audio capture due to a fundamental limitation whereby apps that want to access the system's audio require a [signed kernel extension](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/KernelExtensions/KernelExtensions.html). Chromium, and by extension Electron, does not provide this.
### macOS versions 14.2 or higher
It is possible to circumvent this limitation by capturing system audio with another macOS app like Soundflower and passing it through a virtual audio input device. This virtual device can then be queried with `navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia`.
`NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription` Info.plist key must be added in order for audio to be captured by
`desktopCapturer`. If instead you are running Electron from another program like a terminal or IDE
then that parent program must contain the Info.plist key.
This is in order to facillitate use of Apple's new [CoreAudio Tap API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreAudio/capturing-system-audio-with-core-audio-taps#Configure-the-sample-code-project) by Chromium.

As of Electron `v39.0.0-beta.4`, Chromium [made Apple's new `CoreAudio Tap API` the default](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/ad17e8f8b93d5f34891b06085d373a668918255e)
for desktop audio capture. There is no fallback to the older `Screen & System Audio Recording`
permissions system even if [CoreAudio Tap API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreAudio/capturing-system-audio-with-core-audio-taps) stream creation fails.
If you need to continue using `Screen & System Audio Recording` permissions for `desktopCapturer`
on macOS versions 14.2 and later, you can apply a Chromium feature flag to force use of that older
permissions system:
```js
// main.js (right beneath your require/import statments)

Chromium, and by extension Electron, does not provide this. Only in macOS 13 and onwards does Apple
provide APIs to capture desktop audio without the need for a signed kernel extension.

Per [Chromium update](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/ad17e8f8b93d5f34891b06085d373a668918255e) which enables Apple's newer [CoreAudio Tap API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreAudio/capturing-system-audio-with-core-audio-taps#Configure-the-sample-code-project) by default, you now must have `NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription` defined in your `Info.plist` to use `desktopCapturer`.
Electron's `desktopCapturer` will create a dead audio stream if the new permission is absent however no errors or warnings will occur. This is partially a side-effect of Chromium not falling back to the older `Screen & System Audio Recording` permissions system if the new system fails.
