The macOS app crashes after every upgrade with Homebrew

I install the macOS app via homebrew:

brew install --cask 1password

but everytime that there's a new version and I upgraded:

brew upgrade --cask --greedy

It installs the update correctly, but the app crashes every time I launch it right after the upgrade.

Once I click Reopen, the app launches normally and works fine—until the next update, when it crashes again the first time.

I just want share that issue.

Thanks.

    Hello ghostdog​! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out. I wonder if the 1Password app isn't being closed properly when the update occurs. Can you try the following: 

    1. Close all open web browsers. 
    2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen and then click Quit. 
    3. Update the app using Homebrew. 


    Do you see the same crash? 

    That being said, 1Password does include a built-in updater that handles updates when you install the app from our website. Is there a reason why you're installing and updating 1Password using Homebrew?
