Re: How to clear macOS app bundle cache

Question, what causes the bundle to be cached in the first place?

Is there a way to force that to happen again?  If you know what the bundle is,
can you rename part of it or delete it to force an update?  Cheezy, I know, but
I’m just trying to get some insight into how to do this.
