Invalid connection identifier (web process failed to launch)

Description of the problem

Xcode 15.0 macOS 14.0

Update itself is working fine. But there is no Text to see in the Webview.

Do you use Sandboxing in your app?

No

Version of Sparkle.framework in the latest version of your app

2.5.1

Sparkle's output from Console.app

The WebKit process seems to have been crashed/terminated.

Are there any webkit crashes generated on your system in Console app? Did this ever work before? If so, can you narrow which change caused this to occur? Can you rule out if it's something specific to your HTML/CSS? Are you able to share a repro case? Etc.

Currently this is not very actionable.

Another thought is to try and see if it's an issue in Sparkle 2.4.2

I have another App where the problem does not appear. 2.1.5 is working flawless there. Anyway here is the repo:

Thanks for the repro case. No version of Sparkle that uses WKWebView works. It seems something specific to your app setup. The appcast/release notes can be loaded properly from other apps. I'll have to investigate this more.

The issue is your CFBundleDisplayName ('Bundle Display Name') in your Info.plist if empty/blank. I'll keep open to see if this is a Sparkle issue or a WebKit bug. In the mean time, please populate it properly.

Thanks. That fixed it. What a stupid mistake from me.
