![]() ![]() Most update systems notify of an update and request permission to install ("install now", "install on next start", &c.) thus give a clear indication of why a sudo (elevated permissions) prompt may appear. It's very rare for an application to be self-modifying in this way. I dont have any other problems with other apps. In both cases, the file ownership and permissions were the cause of the prompts see above. I completely reinstalled and restored my home workstation using Migration Assistant a few weeks ago, and at the office, my domain administrator owns the files. That was the exact reason why my GitHub Desktop.app did not have correct permissions. One of the security tools I use had a Sparkle update that failed to render all text on window widgets, I did not even attempt to permit it (outside an ephemeral sandbox VM) before confirming with the vendor that this was a known bug, and the update was legitimate.Įdit: Here's that tweet about the blank Sparkle if you mean like when iam buying new mac, sure - i do this all the time.Ĭool.

I'm security-conscious (totally not an IT specialty), so unexpected prompts like these are serious warning flags.

The provided description was from home, remains true at the office where GitHub Desktop.app is installed in /Applications, a location I do not generally have write access to. I have an office workstation and a home one. The GitHub Desktop.app bundle is also located in a shared area-/Users/Shared/Applications/DevelopmentĬould you try installing it "normally" to /Applications and see if it still behaves the same way? ![]() Also, GitHub Desktop bundles its own git but it's not available broadly, it's used only by GH Desktop.
