Originally created by @TonyBostonTB on GitHub (May 5, 2024).

I am trying to upgrade netbird(-ui) via homebrew but it's borked somehow, here's what I am doing.

brew uninstall --force netbird-ui
==> Uninstalling Cask netbird-ui
env: /Applications/Netbird UI.app/uninstaller.sh: No such file or directory
Error: Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/env /Applications/Netbird\ UI.app/uninstaller.sh` exited with 127. Here's the output:
env: /Applications/Netbird UI.app/uninstaller.sh: No such file or directory

When trying to upgrade, I get this

==> Upgrading 1 outdated package:
netbirdio/tap/netbird-ui 0.27.1 -> 0.27.4
==> Upgrading netbird-ui
...
All dependencies satisfied.
env: /Applications/Netbird UI.app/uninstaller.sh: No such file or directory
==> Purging files for version 0.27.4 of Cask netbird-ui
Error: netbirdio/tap/netbird-ui: Failure while executing; `/usr/bin/env /Applications/Netbird\ UI.app/uninstaller.sh` exited with 127. Here's the output:
env: /Applications/Netbird UI.app/uninstaller.sh: No such file or directory

I do not see a way around this for now. Any suggestions?

I found a hacky way to fix this for me at least.

Download the latest pkg - https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/download/v0.28.3/netbird-ui_0.28.3_darwin_arm64_signed.zip

Extract it. And "uninstall.sh" is in ./netbird_ui_darwin_arm64/ folder.
Copy it as /Applications/Netbird\ UI.app/uninstaller.sh.
chmod +x on it.

This happens to me all the time when trying to upgrade using Homebrew.

I independently came up with the same kind of work-around, just I directly used the source file at https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/blob/main/release_files/darwin-ui-uninstaller.sh and copy-pasted the contents to /Applications/Netbird\ UI.app/uninstaller.sh (don't forget to set the execute bit).

Edit:
I think the reason for this happening: If you download the regular Netbird pkg for updating, then try to run it, it will not work and error out. After remembering that you have to update via Homebrew, the installer already removed the uninstaller.sh and therefore Homebrew update breaks unless you manually restore the file.
