The Slack Is Trying to Add New Helper Tool error message pops up on your Slack account quite often. This message could be caused by many things. Here are some suggestions that might help you resolve this issue. If the error message persists, you should first try changing the ownership of your Slack server. These commands should be executed in a terminal window. If these steps fail, you can reinstall Slack.
This problem may occur if you have an Android device that is root-owned. Slack will always ask for permission to install a tool. This popup may appear even after you have entered your password and clicked Add Helper. According to most sources, this problem is caused by root owning the app. In order to change ownership, you need to perform one of the following steps:
Install Slack via the Mac App Store. After you’ve done this, the app will automatically download a new helper program. Apple will approve this and notify you when a new version becomes available. The Apple App Store will make sure that your Slack app does not use non-public APIs. You can also download the Helperbot if you already have Slack installed on your Mac.
If the error message persists, check the application version. The desktop app for Slack has an RSS feed, so you can subscribe to updates via RSS. Make sure your desktop app is updated and select the “Subscribe to RSS feeds” option. If you get an error when you first install Slack Helper Tool then you will need to reset Slack. If you don’t know your admin credentials, you can try the list-based update method.
To remove Slack from your Mac, you can delete the app from your Mac by going to the Applications menu and selecting the “Remove app” option. Once this is done, you can re-install Slack or another Slack app. Ensure that you are careful not to delete any important files or settings. Regardless of the cause, Slack is designed to ensure that its users can stay connected to their teams at all times.
