@gingerbeardman I see you're running macOS 12.7 - Could you open Console.app and email the crash log (from the Crash Reports section on the left) to our info@ address.

 

Alfred 5.1.3 was built with Xcode 15, but we tested on Monterey before releasing. The crash log should give me a point to what's going on with your Mac.

 

After this, you can revert to 5.1.2 with this link:

Thanks,

The crash report from Console is already at the pastebin link above  but i've emailed it just now.

 

Original filename was: Alfred-2023-09-28-133239.ips

 

I'll stay on this version to see if it happens again. No worries.

A quick google of the exception in the crash report gives this:

@gingerbeardman Alfred's updater already works in the way described on that updating_mac_software link.

 

I'll add an internal ticket to investigate this a little deeper, but this is the first time we've seen this specific crash, so it could also be down to simple corruption during the update.

OK, it is a curious one!
