Update unable to verify (PHP is ok)


Recommended Posts

Hello,

every time when I try to update Alfred 2 (I think since I bought it in March 2013) I get the message "Unable to verify". This bug has followed over with every Mac OS X update and clean install since then.

 

I know about this thread:

http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/2858-update-fails-with-unable-to-verify-for-every-release/

and I am sure the PHP on my Mac is fine (OS X 10.11.5).

 

$ php -version

PHP 5.5.34 (cli) (built: Apr 22 2016 19:16:58) ...

 

whereis php

/usr/bin/php

 

$ php -r 'echo "Test";'

Test

 

The only way to update Alfred seems to be to download a fresh copy of Alfred from the website. This was a little annoying, but not so much that it was worth the efford to complain. But now with Alfred 3 there is no obvious download link on the website for Alfred 2 anymore.

 

What is it, that this bug is so persistent? How to solve it?

 

(I know I can upgrade to Alfred 3, and maybe I will do that in the future. But honestly Alfred 3 brings nothing new that I need. And also I'm in doubt this bug is fixed by upgrading.)

 

Best regards,

Brian

So if Alfred 3 doesn't use PHP the problem is "fixed"?

Even though I don't need any of the new features I think I will upgrade to Alfred 3 just to support the future development :)

 

 

Yes, it is "fixed" as Alfred no longer has this external dependency.

 

And thanks for wanting to upgrade, much appreciated! :)
