yes can be reproduced locally

Steps to Reproduce

Tell us how this issue can be reproduced. Seriously: if you want this issue to be fixed, this is the part you really need to get nailed.

Give us a minimal example:

			_applicationUpdater = new ApplicationUpdaterUI();
			_applicationUpdater.updateURL = "https://acme.com/foo/bar.xml";
			_applicationUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = true;
			_applicationUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, updaterInitialized);
			_applicationUpdater.addEventListener(StatusUpdateEvent.UPDATE_STATUS, updateStatusHandler);
			_applicationUpdater.addEventListener(StatusUpdateErrorEvent.UPDATE_ERROR, updateStatusErrorHandler);
			_applicationUpdater.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, onError);
			_applicationUpdater.initialize();

..

		private function updateStatusErrorHandler(event:StatusUpdateErrorEvent):void {
			print("Update failed: " + event.text);
		}

[trace] Update failed: Unhandled exception Error: Error #1508: The value specified for argument renderMode is invalid.

Known Workarounds

remove or change the renderMode tag eg. cpu works fine, however this is problematic because of this bug https://github.com/airsdk/Adobe-Runtime-Support/issues/3527

Problem persists with 51.1.2.1

regression testing, problem predates 50.2.5.1, 50.1.1.2 , @ajwfrost I don't suppose there are any workarounds you can see to get it working with gpu?

tried all the way back to 33.1.1.935 maybe auto updater has never worked with <renderMode>gpu</renderMode>
