On recent versions of macOS, if you download an ImageJ distribution such as Fiji and then run it in place, the OS invokes a security feature known as Gatekeeper Path Randomization (GPR). The app gets translocated to a random, temporary, read-only folder e.g.:
And the ImageJ Updater then fails to be able to update the application, since the installation is read-only and temporary.
I think it is outside the scope of ImageJ to work around this issue. The problem is avoided by copying the application bundle somewhere else such as /Applications. However, the Updater could be smarter about detecting this situation, and giving a friendlier error message telling the user what is going on, and how to fix it.
