GitHub release assets trigger CORS errors due to redirects breaking pre-flight checks and the final file lacking needed headers.
Two straightforward ways to fix GitHub release CORS errors: relay through your backend or use a CORS proxy.
Relaying requests through your backend involves setting up a server to handle the redirect and avoid CORS issues.
Using a CORS proxy requires inserting the proxy in front of the GitHub URL to follow the redirect and inject the necessary headers for a CORS-friendly response.
