Updating Sonos for MacOS

Almost all of my Mac software updates effortlessly. Sonos, on the other hand, doesn't like MacOS and never has. Thus, to update, Mac users must locate their Sonos app in the Applications folder, delete it, then go back to the Sonos website, find the download link, then download it. Once downloaded, it needs to be dragged to the Applications folder. How archaic? Is there a better way that I'm missing?

    Barring any knowledge about which MacOS you’re currently running, or on what hardware, my notes from all the other threads in the forum about the issue say that you should  authorize the “Sonos Installer” under System Settings > Privacy & Security > App Management.

    Lametown above -- I went through all same things, and tried all the suggestions, etc… nothing worked. (got same error messages, even after resetting etc etc) (on my MacBook Pro, 2021 16in)

    Then, I just went to Sonos website to see about “Sonos 2” -- 

    >  https://www.sonos.com/en-us/controller-app

    At bottom was link to download it to Mac… so, I dowloaded (the .dmg file), opened it, and “replaced” the old one. 
    Worked in just seconds!
