macOS
^^^^^

There is no automatic updater on macOS. If a new update is available,
the Nextcloud client initializes a pop-up dialog to alert you of the
update and requesting that you update to the latest version manually.
The macOS client has an autoupdater which uses the Sparkle framework.
This autoupdater is bundled into the client App Bundle and checks for updates
on launch, notifying you if an update is available. This will present a pop-up
that can let you automatically download and install the latest client update
with one click.

In versions of the client where the Sparkle-based autoupdater is not bundled,
a clickable notification will appear informing of an update being available.
Upon clicking on said notification, the download page for the latest version
of the client will be opened in the system's web browser.

Like on other systems, you can view the update status under
``Settings -> General -> Updates`` in the Nextcloud client.
