[BUG] Homebrew version causes the kekaextension app to no longer work

[patdiddy]

Configuration

• Keka version: [1.4.3 (from HomeBrew)]
• macOS version: [12.7.5]

Describe the bug

The Finder extension isn't showing up as an option in system preferences. This has only been happening ever since the last update (when updating via HomeBrew). Below is what happens when I run the executable in a terminal window.

Expected behavior

The extension should show up in the list of installed extensions, but it doesn't

Additional context

The Extension worked fine until I allowed HomeBrew to start automating all of the updates

Hi! The KekaExternalHelper is not needed for the Finder Extension. There was a bug in 1.4.0 that crashed the Finder Extension, fixed in 1.4.1. What version are you running? I’m seeing brew is installing the latest 1.4.3.

macOS 15.2 (24C101)
keka 1.4.6 (Homebrew)

Here is my log of installing Keka from the brew

brew install --cask keka

🍺  keka was successfully installed!

After that, I downloaded the helper from https://d.keka.io/helper and saved it directly on my desktop. I extracted it and opened it. First, it asked to confirm to open the app (mac privacy popup) and then I got this even though I was already on the Desktop!

@kishan-dhankecha If you've placed it directly to the Desktop then it should be moved elsewhere so the quarantine flags are cleared. Move it to the Applications folder for example. You can also clear the quarantine manually:

xattr -cr ~/Desktop/KekaExternalHelper.app

Since you're using brew, there is also a brew formula for the helper and most : https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/kekaexternalhelper#default

brew install --cask kekaexternalhelper

It works if I install it like that. Did not know that the brew cask existed for external helpers. Thanks!
