#16 Parsing Wireshark version fails (Wireshark 2.4.2)

[Ned Konz]

Thanks for making this program available!

I just installed version 1.2.4 (build 28) of ble-sniffer-osx, and am getting a 'Wireshark is not available. The error was: "Cannot parse wireshark version"' error message when I do "Check Wireshark".

I have Wireshark 2.4.2, installed from Homebrew.

Running tshark -v reports this:

Does your program work with this version of Wireshark?

The version strings which homebrew put in the wireshark product usually don't work, no, can you try one of the released versions of wireshark from the wireshark site which have very consistent namings. I last used 2.3.0 I think and that worked at the time I used it.
