Did you install it?
Here is my search.

Sure did 😬
Installed it on the 23rd.

I have the same version as you. So I can't tell what's on your side.

Well, I re-downloaded the image, reinstalled (overwrote the app in the Applications directory) and that resolved my issue. Feel free to close this strange issue! 🙌

@smpetrey You can close it by yourself. I don't have the permission

For what it's worth, I just ran into the same issue (and reinstalling also fixed) with Hyper 1.0.0, so it seems like there's something to it, but no clue what could be going on.

Also ran into this issue, I have no idea what causes it, but rebuilding the Spotlight index for the Applications folder seemingly did the trick for me, and I think it's simpler then reinstalling the app.

Here's a quick guide on reindexing:

Thank you @zcserei! That is a handy super support article 👏 (and way faster than re-downloading indeed)
