Description

### Steps to reproduce

Element shows there is an Update and I check online and that is correct but my version:
Version 1.12.10 (1.12.10)
just shutsdown and then does nothing. Doesn't install and update to the new version on MacOS

### Outcome

I expected as was normally the case that the new version would be launched but it just shutsdown and then nothing. And when I start Element again it is still the old version. So the updater seems broken to get to the new version 1.12.11

### Operating system

macOS

### Application version

1.12.10

### How did you install the app?

default

### Homeserver

_No response_

### Will you send logs?

No

Research direction

Start by reproducing the update from Element 1.12.10 to 1.12.11 on macOS and compare the expected launch with the reported shutdown. The issue names no source files, tests, entry points, or logs; the fix is done when the update installs successfully and launches the new version.
