After updating to v5 from 4.6.1 using brew I constantly get an error:

It seems to work when reinstalled.

Thanks for reporting @nandi95 .

I got the same error, but slightly different experience.

When updating via homebrew from 4.5.1 to v5.0.0, I got a similar prompt ~5 times. Restarting the app and it worked fine without the need to reinstall.

We'll keep our eyes out for other similar reports

I got the same, had to restart the app. I doubt we can fix this, would probably need a fix in the version that's already installed on your machine :)

I upgraded two devices to v5.1.0 this morning. One device was a smooth upgrade, another had the same image not found prompts. relaunching the app worked. we'll need to dig a bit deeper it seems.

The maintainers haven't seen this issue reoccur today after performing v5.2.0 upgrades. Will close this issue, but happy to reopen if/when it may reappear

My latest working theory is this error will occur when

• Gitify is running
• performing a brew upgrade to update outdated casks.

Reading through the Brew cask guides, the below call-out for quit commands seems to correlate with our experience
> (does not run when uninstall is initiated by brew upgrade or brew reinstall)

Proposing some changes to our cask file to should help 🤞 this: Homebrew/homebrew-cask#173061

[setchy]

Cask changes have been merged Homebrew/homebrew-cask#173061

Will close after our next release

Tested successfully with v5.6.0 brew cask update
