Are binary patch updates available for mac?

[dsabanin]

• Version: electron-builder version 20.28.1 with electron 3.0.0-beta.5, but also tried with2.x versions of Electron. Node version is 10.2.1.

• Target: MacOS 10.14 Beta (18A365a), but the same thing is happening on 10.13.

I'm using "electron-publisher-s3": "^20.17.2" and I've never seen binary patches being applied during updates on Mac. It always downloads the whole application archive from S3. My questions is, is it implemented and supposed to work? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated.

I do see the mention of the block map file in the logs, so it seems that it tries to do something for the incremental patch updates:
