IMatch updater incorrectly reports "newer version"

[Mees Dekker]

I am currently on the latest release (2023.1.22)

However: when I hit the "IMatch Updater app", it reports to me that there is a newer version available.

How do you start the Updater?
Does it come up automatically or do you use Help menu > Check for Update?

I cannot reproduce this with a IMatch 2023.1.22 installation on Windows 11.
Please attach the IMatch log file from that session.
The Help > Check for Update command logs the information retrieved when checking for updates.

I think I can reproduce it (I am also on 2023.1.22):

• The update check works correctly when using Help > Check for Update, telling me that I am already on the last version. 
• But there is also the dedicated IMatch Update App, normally hidden, which can be found via the App Manager. And the App tells me that there is a newer version available. (EMail address and license key are both the correct ones for IM 2023).

Log file attached. IMATCH6_LOG.zip

It might be caused by this lines of code: If Developer Mode is activated (which is the case for me) the installed version is always set to the available version minus 1. Some leftover from testing the Update App?

This may be the case. Unless a user develops IMatch apps, the developer mode should be off.
Usually I comment this line out, probably I have forgotten it.

But this should only come into play when a user manually starts the updater app while also having the Developer Mode enabled, not when the standard Help > Check for Update command is used (which performs its own check).

Yes, exactly. I think Mees also referred to the Update App, not the menu entry.
For me, this is a non-issue, because I always use the Help menu entry to check for updates. I even don't recall when I used the dedicated App for the check at all, with the exception of trying to reproduce this bug report.

[Mario]

The Help > Check for Updates is the normal way. And IMatch checks by default once a week and at least every 30 days for updates anyway.

I have commented out the special handling in developer more in the Updater App. I use that for simulating an update when I test the Updater App.

I was indeed using the Update App, since that requires only 1 click. Checking via the Help -> Check for updates  takes 2 clicks.
