Old Build Dectected - Mac

Open colsartoris opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Have been getting an Old Build Detected error on my Mac for awhile. I know that #40 describes a similar issue for Windows. I have just been checking back in to see if the build has been updated for a month or so, but hadn't seen it updated or reported, so I figured I'd log an issue. Thanks so much for this great work!

FWIW, here's the popup:

Full text:

This app was built a long time ago. Nativefier uses the Chrome browser (through Electron), and it is dangerous to keep using an old version of it. You should rebuild this app with a recent Electron. Using the latest Nativefier will default to it, or you can pass it manually.

FWIW, you can build this yourself. This package is just a wrapper for building the app with nativefier.

The latest nativefier builds with icons and name automatically, you can run the following to get a build without the error:

npm install -g nativefier
nativefier "https://messages.google.com/web"

Then open the built app.

Sorry for the delay, should be resolved now: https://github.com/kelyvin/Google-Messages-For-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.4.2

To prevent this from happening often, will need someone's help in the following request: https://github.com/kelyvin/Google-Messages-For-Desktop/issues/36
