EmLoad 0.1.0 Beta 3

Sideload iOS apps with a free Apple ID.

Install

File	What you get
EmLoad-Setup-0.1.0-beta3.exe	WinUI 3 desktop app + Python engine
EmLoad-Cli-Setup-0.1.0-beta3.exe	emload on your PATH (plus emload gui)
EmLoad-0.1.0-beta3-win-x64.zip	Portable folder, no installer - run First-Run.cmd

Both installers are per-user: no admin rights, no machine-wide changes.
They need Python 3.10 or newer from python.org (the Microsoft Store stub
cannot create a virtual environment) and an internet connection while the
installer fetches the packages.

After installing, open a new terminal:

emload setup     # download zsign (required for signing)
emload doctor    # check the environment

See installer/README.md for build and troubleshooting notes.

The binaries are not code-signed, so SmartScreen will warn on first run.
Check the download against SHA256SUMS.txt.

macOS beta

Download EmLoad-0.1.0-beta3-macos-arm64.dmg or EmLoad-0.1.0-beta3-macos-x86_64.dmg for a drag-and-drop install, or EmLoad-0.1.0-beta3-macos.zip as a ZIP archive, for Apple silicon and Intel Macs (macOS 13 or newer). zsign is bundled in the app.
Opening the app checks GitHub for a newer release, including pre-releases, and can replace this copy.
The app is ad-hoc signed, not notarized. Python 3.10+ with the EmLoad
requirements installed is needed to run the bundled engine; see the
macOS setup guide: https://github.com/EmTechFlagship/EmLoad/blob/v0.1.0-beta3/gui-macos/README.md
