I found that the content of the app packages is different between zip and tar.gz. There are some aliases to directories in Resources in tar.gz-releases. In zip-releases these are empty directories instead of aliases. Zip-release can't find local certificate file while trying to make update_check.

It seams that the problem is with shutil.make_archive. It changes symlinks to empty folders when making zip file. (macOS, Python 3.8.1)

Thanks for the report & great find!

Looks like we'll need to do it the long way :)
