When developing cross-platform GUI applications with frameworks like Microsoft MAUI or Avalonia UI, you can publish your apps and run them on MacOS, Linux, smart-fridges or whatever.

However right now it seems like AutoUpdater.NET relies on WinForms to show update-dialogs, which means you can't use AutoUpdater.NET for any of those platform targets.

Would it be possible to reuse some of the core in AutoUpdater.NET, but make it possible to wire up your own UIs to improve cross-platform support and support for other UI libraries?

It is possible but requires some work. In the future, I may create a decoupled solution that can be used across other UI frameworks.
