I've found the reason why this bug appears:
It's because I've opened the "Automatically Update", and the default newest version of PlayCover is 2.0.5. So the app itself downloaded ver. 2.0.5 and "upgrade" my app.

We didn't update the sparkle version since this is technically not a stable release but a beta release, 3.0.0 is not released yet.
