Objective

Create an open-source github repo containing a simple "updater" app that:

1. Uses a GET request to retrieve a 'build manifest' from this endpoint (note that the only required query parameter is type, which can be either alpha, beta or release).
2. Downloads the files the build manifest refers to.
3. Presents a dialog to the user showing as much information about the downloaded files as it can be possibly obtained.
