Unable to update the minecraft native launcher - Mac OSX 10.11.4 (El Capitan)
I keep getting an error when trying to install the newest Minecraft launcher which says, "unable to update the minecraft native launcher".
Anybody know what's going wrong?
Best Answer
Try to reinstall Minecraft(delete it from the Applications folder, then run the installer).
If it didn't work, do you have avast?(BUG URL: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCL-3959)
In Avast, you'll need to disable both the File and Web Shields found under Preferences > Shields. Once both shields are disabled, you should be able to get the newest version of the launcher.

But you have to have Java installed, otherwise it won't work.
