Keep Navicat Data Modeler up to date on your Mac
Navicat Data Modeler is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships, and updates in one click along with everything else on this Mac.
How Navicat Data Modeler gets updated
Floodtide reads the Homebrew catalog, a community-maintained index of Mac software, to learn which version of Navicat Data Modeler is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version it will move to and the download size. Pressing Update, or Update All, does the rest:
- The vendor's own build is downloaded, several apps at a time, with real progress.
- The download is verified against the developer signature of the installed copy; Gatekeeper must accept it before anything is replaced.
- Navicat Data Modeler is asked to quit politely if it is open, and never forced.
- The bundle is swapped and the old version kept for seven days, so Undo Last Update always works.
- The replacement's code signature is checked; a build signed worse than the one you had is rolled back automatically.
Navicat Data Modeler's publisher does not publish a checksum, so Floodtide verifies each download by requiring the same developer signature as the copy already installed, and Gatekeeper has to accept it before anything is replaced.
If Navicat Data Modeler lives in a folder macOS protects, the swap asks for your administrator password once for the whole batch, exactly as the Finder does when you install anything by hand.

How does Floodtide install a new version of Navicat Data Modeler?
It downloads the vendor's official build, verifies it carries the same developer signature as the copy already installed and passes Gatekeeper, quits Navicat Data Modeler if it is running, swaps the bundle, and keeps the previous version for seven days so the update can be undone.
