Referral download links for publishers point to the download of the old "Brave.app" browser app

[dekaru]

Description

Referral download links for publishers currently point to the download of the old "Brave.app" browser instead of the new "Brave Browser.app"

Steps to Reproduce

Follow a referral download link for the Brave browser, such as
https://brave.com/reb420

Actual result:

On a Mac, the page takes you to a download of a .pkg installer which installs the old "Brave.app" browser.

Expected result:

A download of a .dmg image which contains the new "Brave Browser.app" browser, based on Chromium.

Reproduces how often:

Every time.

Thanks for the report @dekaru! We're currently working on getting the referral program working with the newer builds. Should be working sometime next week 👍 CCing @aekeus.
