@NeverAgain11 Can you have a look?

[NeverAgain11]

it's not nil in my side.

[NeverAgain11]

Have you checked that the appDelegate is nil?

[CanglongCl]

Have you checked that the appDelegate is nil?

Yes, appDelegate is nil as well.

[NeverAgain11]

Have you checked that the appDelegate is nil?

Yes, appDelegate is nil as well.

can you replace appDelegate to

var appDelegate: AppDelegate? {
        NSApp.delegate as? AppDelegate
    }

and see if it can solve?

        NSApp.delegate as? AppDelegate

It is still nil

[NeverAgain11]

perhaps casued by this.
NSApplicationMain not get called.

@tisfeng Please have a look at this issue. I'm really not familiar with NSApp's life circle.

Yes, I've found this too, when started with SwiftUI, it doesn't initialize Main.storyboard as it did before, and updaterController, which is an IBOutlet that depends on it, isn't initialized, resulting in updater being nil as well.

@interface AppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate>

@property (weak) IBOutlet SPUStandardUpdaterController *updaterController;

@end

var updater: SPUUpdater? {
        appDelegate?.updaterController.updater
    }

Maybe we can refer to the Sparkle document and initialize updaterController with code instead.

I found that there's already another updaterController created in EasydictApp.swift, we may need to reorganize the code in this part.
