AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis is not a standalone application but rather an embedded update helper within Dropshare 6. You cannot update it separately — it is part of Dropshare and will be updated automatically when you update Dropshare itself. A native Apple Silicon build of this component has already been confirmed in use, which means Dropshare has shipped a native or Universal Binary version that includes a native build of the Sparkle framework. To ensure you have the latest native build, check for updates within Dropshare 6 by opening the app and navigating to its preferences or help menu to look for a "Check for Updates" option, or visit the Dropshare download page to grab the latest installer. Once you update Dropshare to the current version, the embedded Sparkle installer service will automatically be updated to its native Apple Silicon build.
