1.1.1 Check For Updates - Update Error

ksherlock

This broke with 1.1.1.

The (sparkle) check for updates menu item gives this error:

Update Error!

You must specify the URL of the appcast as the SUFeedURL key in either the Info.plist, or with -[SPUUpdaterDelegate feedURLStringForUpdater:] for Orion!

Orion
Version 1.1.1 (149), WebKit 619.1.11.111.2
Build date June 27, 2026
iMac (macOS Mojave 10.14.6 build 18G9323)

It should check for updates.

1.1.1

Mojave (10.14)

ksherlock Afraid this has been an on-going coming and going issue for months now:

Two things you can do:
a) Go back to the original installer (e.g. in the DMG) and let it download the latest version of the app and then replace your current app with the newly downloaded one
b) Wipe out ~/Library/Application\ Support/Orion
-Close Orion
-Wipe out that folder
-Start Orion and reconfigure everything (i.e. this will wipe out all your profiles, preferences, saved sessions, etc)

[Note you only have to do a) or b) but not both -- also I can't guarantee either fix this forever]

Also note Orion for Mojave has a limited future: https://orionfeedback.org/d/13278-when-will-you-support-macos-1013
