InstallerConnection is an XPC service component that is part of Sparkle, an open-source software update framework for macOS applications. Sparkle handles automatic checking, downloading, and installation of app updates, and is embedded within hundreds of third-party Mac apps including Dropshare. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community. InstallerConnection itself is not a standalone application but rather a privileged helper service that executes within the context of the host app's update process.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionInstallerConnection is a helper component inside Dropshare, not a standalone app you can update separately. The way to get the native Apple Silicon build is to update Dropshare 6 itself to its latest version. Open Dropshare, go to Dropshare → Check for Updates (or use the menu option if available), and install any available update — that will bring in the native build of all embedded components, including InstallerConnection. If Dropshare was installed via the Mac App Store, open the App Store app and check for updates there instead. Once Dropshare is updated to the latest available version, InstallerConnection will automatically be replaced with its native Apple Silicon build at the next update check.
