I open MuseScore, it tells me an updated version is available, I click the link to update it, the update downloads, then supposedly installs, then .... nothing. The version doesn't update and the next time I open MuseScore it tells me the same thing and all is repeated. I checked my computer but can't find the supposedly downloaded file anywhere either.

Possible a Mac-only issue? IIRC it did work properly for me on Windows back when 3.0.3 came out and ever since then.
Or maybe some firewall preventing the update from within MuseScore, (but allows via browser)?

Downloaded 3.4.2 Apr 22, 2020, to MacMini using MacOs Catalina 10.15.4
Received the same notice pane as shown by "smeetjspa" on Apr 2
Note, I am a software engineer who programs apps for MacOS. I recognize that Apple recently changed their policies, trying to "be safer" for the consumer (thanks, not). Nonetheless, Musescore will have to either: 1. Comply with this new requirement. -or- 2. Re-configure the app and apply for inclusion in Apple's AppStore (not an easy/fun task, believe me). I hope Musescore can do this, because I'd surely like to use the app !!
