Describe the Bug

During installation, BD is unable to detect Discord on macOS since the latest version.
canary 535274 (c7e8a46) Host 0.0.1089 arm64 (81192) Build Override: N/A macOS 26 (25.5.0)

Expected Behavior

Discord must be detected by the installer.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch installer
2. Install BD

Operating System

MacOS

Discord Version

Canary

BetterDiscord Version

1.13.11

Anything else?

Upon launch, it creates two version folders ("X.X.XXXX" and "app-X.X.XXXX"). I think the problem stems from this. As soon as I reinstall the app, the "app-X.X.XXXX" folder disappears, but it reappears on the second launch. When I perform a factory reset without the "app-X.X.XXXX" folder, the installer correctly detects Discord and it works, but when I relaunch the app, the "app-X.X.XXXX" folder reappears and BD uninstalls.

A temporary solution has been found by Domi, thanks!

"You can change the files yourself. Copy the index.js from 0.0.1089/modules/discord_desktop_core to your downloads folder or something. Then delete the file from the discord_desktop_core Folder. Move the index.js from app-0.0.1089/modules/discord_desktop_core to 0.0.1089/modules/discord_desktop_core. Then replace the index.js from app-0.0.1089/modules/discord_desktop_core with the index.js you copied earlier"

this is now in non-canary builds and not mac-specific. the main-line linux client updated to
stable 538472 (21650ee) Host 1.0.136 x64 (81691) Build Override: N/A Linux 64-bit
today and betterdiscord installer cannot find it.

It seems to be inconsistent as my Mac still does not have the new updater on non-canary.
