Why does Storage Studio say an app has an update waiting to be installed?

Short answer: The app has a downloaded update not yet installed, and moving it now could leave it half-updated. Let the app finish updating, then move it.

The app has downloaded an update that hasn't been installed yet. Moving an app mid-update can leave it half-updated, so Storage Studio flags it before you move it.

Open the app, let it finish installing the update (often it happens when you quit and reopen it), then move it.
