Update fails in development environment

We have recently purchased EasyBlog, and are working out how to use it in our development environment, which is not the same domain name as our license. The development environment is listed below in the site URL field.

I cannot update through the Joomla update panel, or either of the "Update Now" buttons on the EasyBlog main panel.

I receive this error when attempting to update from the EasyBlog main panel.

Error updating component when using the API from Joomla. Please try again.

Last time it needed an update, I ended up downloading the install package and performing a full reinstall, fortunately that left the setup in place for the website team to continue their implementation efforts.

Is the development environment site name causing the problem with updates?

Joomla 3.9.2
EasyBlog 5.2.10
PHP 7.1.26
