[app-update] hook.check: failed

Error message

[app-update] hook.check: failed

What it means

Failure of the manual update check in useAppUpdate.hook.check: the checkAppUpdate Tauri invoke rejected (network failure, updater plugin not initialized, or a malformed release feed). The catch normalizes the error to a message, sets the error state and phase so the UI shows a retry affordance instead of a stuck 'checking' spinner.

Solutions

1. Retry via the UI's error-state action — transient network failures are the common cause
2. Verify the updater endpoint configuration (latest.json URL) is reachable
3. Check that the tauri-plugin-updater is registered in the shell build
