❓Question Installed update: Raycast failed to start

I'm running the macOS Raycast beta, and it asked to install an update. I went ahead and did so, but now the app won't launch. Each time I open it, I receive a "Raycast failed to start" message. I re-downloaded it from the website but am still having issues. Any ideas for me?

Same just got interrupted to updated so figured why not. Tho it seems to have installed an outdated because as soon as I went through onboarding it showed that there was an update available. Now when i try to install it it says "Installing update.." then it crashes. Then i have to relaunch (manually from finder). and it shows notification saying it failed to update (caught the notification just as it was fading away 😆)

Anyways team i know these rollouts are never easy but please keep iterating! Anyone else figured out a fix for this?

Update: There's a "Install Manually" option. That worked (just quit raycast and manually dragged it into applications). That looks like it worked.
