[ERR_ASSERTION]: host must be a valid HTTPS URL when using ElectronPublicUpdateService

[fttx]

This code:

updateElectronApp({
    updateSource: {
        type: UpdateSourceType.ElectronPublicUpdateService,
        repo: 'owner/repo',
    },
})

is causing this error:

Uncaught Exception:
AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: host must be a valid HTTPS URL
at validateInput (/myapp/electron/dist/mac-arm64/myapp.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/node_modules/update-electron-app/dist/index.js:141:34)

at Object.<anonymous> (electron/js2c/browser_init.js:161:9959)
at Object.emit (events.js:376:20)

That means that it is failing to set the default value for the host parameter, in fact, when setting it to host: "https://update.electronjs.org" it goes away.

@fttx Thanks for making an issue, just bumped into this and got stuck!

@erickzhao Do you know if it matters what website the host is? Trying to figure out what is the purpose of a host-url is when we're just pointing at a GH repo?
