v0.5 Beta
Pre-releaseπ FlashPipe v0.5-beta: The First Release!
I am incredibly excited to announce the first public beta of FlashPipe! π± β¨
FlashPipe is a macOS-native application built with SwiftUI, designed to take the headache out of Android development and flashing.
Caution
β οΈ Critical Bug Notice: Initial Setup
There is a known issue where the automatic tool installation on launch may result in corrupted binaries and error out.
Workaround: If prompted to install tools on first launch, please cancel/skip and go to Settings within the app to perform the installation manually. This ensures the binaries are placed correctly. βοΈπ¦
