Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Hi, the issue is "Auto update failed" which appeared today. It also happens when I click on "check for updates" from top menu

I've tried @pan93412's suggestion from closed issue to run sudo pkill -9 mDNSResponder but no luck, it still fails on auto update

Error message:

It seems to me like permission issue to some directories needed for the update of Zed version

After upgrading Macos to the latest 14.3 the issue was solved

I'm getting this issue as well

Do you use macOS, if so have you updated to 14.3? Also consider updating Zed to the newest version

I have this issue as well. I'm on macOS 14.3 and using Zed 0.123.2

Hey @tuan-h / @watchgou, can you open up a new issue for this?

@JosephTLyons

For me it was a permissions issue. I installed Zed on user_A and then used it on user_B and couldn't auto update as user_B. I fixed it by changing the ownership to user_B.

sudo chown -R {user_B}:{user_group} /Applications/Zed.app

I also encounter the problem. I was on Zed 0.123.6, updated to 0.124.7 when it became available, but the updating process begins on every startup now, and it fails - even though I was already on the latest version.

Sorry for commenting on a closed issue but I don't have time nor enough repro info to create a new one.

as @bartekpacia mentioned, im in the same boat having same issues, and im facing this since i started using but i ignored it everytime

yet today i decided to search up for the fix and landed here-

❯ zed -v Zed 0.143.7 os Arch Linux kernel 6.10.0-zen1-2-zen
