  1. Updated from version 1.12.0-rc4-beta20 to 1.12.0-beta21 (2 different machines)
  2. Check for updates returns “An error occurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later.”

I’m able to pull the file without any issues, when you click the link above appcast.xml do you get the file or still see the error?
There’s a chance you’re hitting a cached version of it and thus can’t get out of that loop

I just tried it for the first time today and it worked fine (You’re Up To Date). I am also able to get to the appcast.xml file without any trouble today. Yesterday it was definitely failing for me on 2 different machines.

Yesterday I figured that I would pass the problem along just in case it was some perm issue. Sorry about the trouble.
