Why doesn't VS Code auto update on macOS?
I have VS Code on Windows and macOS, on Windows it auto updates but on macOS it doesn't.
How do I get VS Code to auto update on macOS?
Solution
VS Code on macOS will not auto update if it's running from a read-only folder.
If you downloaded and are running VS Code from your Downloads folder, which is read-only, it will not auto update.
Solution:
When you've downloaded VS Code, drag the downloaded file to your applications directory and run it from there instead.
It will now auto update
