> export default class AppUpdater { ......

why is this a class ? just so it can auto-exececute without being called ?

i would prefer an 'export default function init(){ // init code'

Not even. `export default new class ...` would be 'equivalent' to an IIFE; using CommonJS module caching to produce singleton behaviour. This should just export a function. That's it.
