Description of problem or question:
]When I click on "Check For Updates" I get an error that I'm running from a read-only volume or disc image. I uninstalled the application, redownloaded it from your site and then reinstalled it, but I still had the same error message. HandBrake is installed correctly in the Applications folder.

1.1.0



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Mac OS X 10.13.5 Beta

Where the handbrake file is placed influences what MacOS will allow you to do with it.

Some information found here that applies to handbrake as well: https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/issues/936

Could be a permissions issue with the Applications folder. Make sure your user has write permissions.
