Description

Was going to update Brave Beta today, update was found clicked update. Mac says Brave would like to add a helper tool, put in my password, update doesn't occur. Just updated Release channel, didn't ask for the helper tool.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Check for update on Mac OS
  2. Click update, Brave Beta asks to install a helper tool
  3. Doesn't restart and apply update

Actual result: Doesn't update.

Please add screenshots if needed.

Brave Version

Brave: 0.21.12
V8: 6.4.388.41
rev: 246f9008be47dbdcc6dc9ded5690a847eee8a4e0

Update Channel: Beta
OS Architecture: x64

Beta doesn't allow me to update to most recent build.

**Reproducible on current live release: No, Release channel updates properly.

Additional Information - Might be considered a regression as I've never had this issue before.

@Tomatoshadow2 can you please try installing Beta manually? You should then be able to upgrade next time a release comes out 馃槃 I ran into the same thing- I may have accidentally released a bad build. Should be fixed now though 馃憤

This should be resolved now, they changed to .pkg file and they that introduced the help service stuff, that was however fixed at a later point :+1: You can probably try to reinstall BraveBeta from the releases page here on github :wink:
