[question] When calling the relaunch method of the plugin-process, I encounter the error “Operation not permitted (os error 1).” Could you help me find a solution?

import { ask } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-dialog';
import { relaunch } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-process';
import { check } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-updater';

export async function checkForAppUpdates() {
  const update = await check();

  if (update?.available) {
    const yes = await ask(
      `
Update to ${update.version} is available!
Release notes: ${update.body}
        `,
      {
        title: 'Update Now!',
        kind: 'info',
        okLabel: 'Update',
        cancelLabel: 'Cancel'
      }
    );

    if (yes) {
      await update.downloadAndInstall();
      await relaunch();
    }
  }
}


//...

 useEffect(() => {
    (async () => {
      await checkForAppUpdates();
    })();
  }, []);

// tauri.conf.json

    "beforeBuildCommand": "yarn build",
    "beforeDevCommand": "yarn dev",
    "frontendDist": "../out",
    "devUrl": "http://localhost:3000"

    }
  }
}

When I call the relaunch method, I get the error “Operation not permitted (os error 1).” I believe I’ve configured everything correctly, but I’m wondering how I can resolve this issue.

tauri-apps/tauri#8258 (no solution, just linking it for visibility)

Note that this is not an easy task as it will require a helper binary alongside the main app that will in turn update the app which is quite different from the current "app updates itself" approach.

Edit: That comment was meant for the linked issue, sorry. Anyway i didn't find much info about restarting sandboxed apps in general, i only saw that even electron hasn't solved this yet. I assume that even restarting would require an external helper service then 🤔
