Framework updating mechanism thwarted by app store #337

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The framework updating mechanism in GVD has an issue in writing to applications 
from the app store. We receive this error when trying to do so:

Growl Version Detective: Error backing up framework! Error 
Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "“Growl.framework” couldn’t be moved 
because you don’t have permission to access “Frameworks”.

"The operation couldn’t be completed. Permission denied"

It would be beneficial from a support standpoint to allow for updating the 
framework in apps from the app store. If this is problematic, it may be 
necessary to disable this.

The reason for this is that the app store installs apps such that users don't 
have permissions to muck with them.  

For the time being, I have disabled upgrading apps that we don't have 
permission to touch, and really, apps in the App Store I would expect to be 
more responsive about sending out updates.  Ultimately I could look into 
whatever the current method is for giving GVD the blessing to touch system 
owned files, but feel this would be time better spent elsewhere most likely.

Also, I have added a label showing why an app can't be upgraded, whether its 
version, permissions, or the -WI issue.
