Misleading update indicator for "macOS Version" info item on macOS 15.4

[superdogo22]

On macOS 15.4 the info item "macOS Version" has an indicator for available software updates.

It's still there after restart, unload & load LaunchAgent, after force quitting the app and after check for new software updates.

Someone else pointed this out: ***_It appears the LastUpdatesAvailable value in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist is not properly updated or cleaned up after a software update check.

On a clean VM I couldn’t reproduce, because the key is not there._

thanks for the great app.

Hello,

You seems to use a custom written script here with Hello IT to check if there is updates to apply. This is not a native feature of Hello IT but a script extension (and a smart one) your team did with the ScriptedItem feature.

So out of the box I cannot really help here.

I recommend checking the script itself to make it works reliably outside of Hello IT and then, confirming it integrate correctly.

If you are using the Jacob F Grant script: https://github.com/jacobfgrant/hello-it-scripts/blob/master/CustomScripts/com.github.jacobfgrant.hello-it.updates.sh

The problem seems to be that the variable "munkiUpdateCount" appears as "munkiUpdatesCount" (with an "s") later in the script. I changed the first appearance to also be "munkiUpdatesCount" and now I get the correct result.
