Bug: Have to open app twice to start

[joshpetit]

Thanks a lot for maintaining this :)

Describe the bug When you first open the app you have to reopen it to get it to run

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open app
2. See this error:

   Checking for update
   Error: Error: ENOENT, dev-app-update.yml not found in /usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar
   at createError (electron/js2c/asar_bundle.js:5:1255)
   at e.readFile (electron/js2c/asar_bundle.js:5:8025)
   at go$readFile (/usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/graceful-fs/graceful-fs.js:118:14)
   at readFile (/usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/graceful-fs/graceful-fs.js:115:12)
   at /usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/universalify/index.js:10:14
   at new Promise (<anonymous>)
   at readFile (/usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/universalify/index.js:7:14)
   at AppImageUpdater.loadUpdateConfig (/usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/electron-updater/out/AppUpdater.js:602:67)
   at Lazy.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/electron-updater/out/AppUpdater.js:211:58)
   at Lazy.get value [as value] (/usr/lib/android-messages-desktop/resources/app.asar/node_modules/lazy-val/out/main.js:23:25)

3. Open app again in another session
4. Enjoy

Expected behavior It'd be nice if it worked when being opened the first time, since right now I have to open it twice using rofi which messes up it's placing on the priority list. I'll likely change the run command to run twice to get it to work.

How did you install the program? I assume the AUR but which AUR version?

[joshpetit]

@OrangeDrangon I installed the binary version

think I have a similar problem on Pop OS from the latest deb install. Same effect (have to open twice) and when running /opt/AndroidMessages/AndroidMessages I get

Checking for update
Error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/opt/AndroidMessages/resources/app-update.yml'

I do have app.asar in resources though. :)
