Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.137.0
- OS Version: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy DMG-installer via Intune/JAMF to managed Mac-device.
2. When Microsoft releases new software update to Visual Studio Code, trigger Visual Studio Code to check updates.
3. User will get this prompt (see screenshot from attachment).
Looks like DMG-installer deployment via Intune/JAMF to managed devices configures wrong permissions to the application, that causes prompt of the helper tool.
