Hello,

6.0.270 out now seems to fix the notarisation bug. Finally! Deezer will open “naturally”.

Let’s see if it also fixes autoupdating…

Despite being a more minor issue, the macOS icon has been made too small for Finder since 6.0.260…

Now let’s hope that Deezer moved away from the older Electron framework (v12 vs. current stable being v31-v33), that it becomes Apple Silicon native, and that AirPlay 2 instant streaming is included.

I still had the issue with 6.0.250. Since autoupdating has not been working for months, I had to download it myself and I had to open other manually since it did not meet gatekeeper requirements and the new procedure on Sequoia is more cumbersome.

Hi ​@jeremybonan thanks for sharing the good news.

Indeed, we have introduced some improvements in the recent updates, but more is to come in the coming months as your electron team is working for a long time, on delivering to our users a better UX when using the Desktop app.

So just stay tuned for the upcoming updates.

Dear ​@Leonídia.Deezer,

Thanks for the good news.

Do you plan a beta period before the new Desktop app?

Hi ​@jeremybonan! Thank you for the update.

This is a known issue, and our developers are already working on a fix.

Version 7.0.1 is out. No autoupdate from 6.0.290 (still broken).

Nothing new after first sight (yet?), but app is now universal on macOS and Electron is up to v33

Hi ​@jeremybonan! I’ve passed along your feedback about the auto-update issue from 6.0.290 to our team.

As for the updates, we've now made the app Universal for macOS, meaning it works smoothly on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs (just one DMG).

We've also resolved the title bar issue on Windows and improved the handling of downloaded content.

Hi ​@jeremybonan the auto-update should be fixed since the release of the version 7.0.1. If you have a version older than 7.0.0, after you close and reopen the app, it will run a check-up in the background and automatically will update.

For the record:

  • I never had 7.0.0
  • My first version in the 7 branch was 7.0.1, manual download only
  • Out of 4 computers (macs and pcs) none was offered autoupdate from 7.0.1 to 7.0.10.
