BrianDoh Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 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 Link to comment
Andrew Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi there, The link to download Alfred 2 directly is here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/v2/ What is it, that this bug is so persistent? How to solve it? Alfred 3 no longer uses php for one part of the download verification, all verification is done internally. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
BrianDoh Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi Andrew, thanks for reply. 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 Link to comment

And thanks for wanting to upgrade, much appreciated! Link to comment
