FnSwitcher 1.7

Adds iPad and Universal Control experiments for FnSwitcher.

Changes:

• Adds the experimental iPad Virtual HID (Karabiner) switch target.
• Keeps the legacy iPad Universal Control CGEvent Control-Space fallback for diagnostics.
• Adds the FnSwitcherKarabinerBridge helper target for sending Control-Space through Karabiner VirtualHID.
• Adds menu status/actions for Karabiner bridge diagnostics and setup commands.
• Keeps Mac input-source switching behavior unchanged.

Notes:

• The Karabiner path requires Karabiner VirtualHIDDevice and a manually started sudo bridge helper.
• This build is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID notarized. If macOS blocks it, use Right-click / Open or Privacy & Security / Open Anyway.

AppleLocalizationSwitcher 1.6

Fixes the Fn/Globe typing race and removes the app-icon image from the README documentation.

Changes:

• Cancels delayed input-source retry switches as soon as typing starts after a Fn/Globe switch.
• Skips delayed reapply when the target input source is already active.
• Bumps app metadata to version 1.6 build 7.
• Removes the app icon image from the documentation screenshot/demo section.
• Replaces the original v1.6 DMG with a corrected bundle-signed package to avoid macOS treating the app as damaged.

Note:

• This build is ad-hoc signed because this machine does not currently have a valid Apple Developer signing identity. macOS may still require Open Anyway/Privacy & Security approval for downloaded builds until a Developer ID notarized release is produced.
