We have a dotnet core console application which we want to use ClickOnce deployment. Mainly every time the user runs the application, it should check for update and update itself.

This was available by default with ClickOnce deployment in dotnetframework applications. Dotnet core provides Framework Dependent Deployment & Self Contained Deployment. But in both the case, updates have to manually pushed.

Please suggest how we can achieve ClickOnce deployment for dotnet core applications and if there is any tool available in the market to achieve the same.

Very old question but maybe useful in the future:

I think you just need to wait till NET 5: Latest announcement includes ClickOnce
