Important: Do not tick a checkbox if you haven’t performed its action. Honesty is indispensable for a smooth review process.

In the following questions <cask> is the token of the cask you're submitting.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

Additionally, if adding a new cask:

  • Named the cask according to the token reference.
  • Checked the cask was not already refused (add your cask's name to the end of the search field).
  • brew audit --cask --new <cask> worked successfully.
  • HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1 brew install --cask <cask> worked successfully.
  • brew uninstall --cask <cask> worked successfully.

I have a doubt here. While doing a brew livecheck --debug anydo it mentioned the following.

Skipping anydo as it is autobumped in homebrew/cask.

So in that case why do we need auto_updates and livecheck for this cask ? Or this is for some internal update apart from what autobump is doing ?

Adding auto_updates true is reserved for casks that can update outside of Homebrew, to prevent users from having their apps updated both through the in-app updater and Homebrew itself. Homebrew will only update installed casks with auto_updates true when the --greedy option is used with brew upgrade.

Thanks! Could you confirm whether anydo has an in-app updater? See #184175 for reference.

Although I can't specifically see any button/option to update the app, I can see a pop up at the top of the application. On clicking it, the application gets updated.
