Release Scrcpy GUI 2.5.0 · SimonAKing/scrcpy-gui

What's new

Background recording now has dedicated start/stop buttons, live session status and elapsed time, and unique automatic filenames. Existing file-based profiles and supported recording containers remain compatible.
macOS supports screenshot and device-control shortcuts while the Scrcpy GUI main window is focused. Shortcuts do not intercept input in other apps or the separate mirror window.
Open an APK from Finder, choose an authorized Android device, and confirm installation. Cancel is the default; replacing an existing app requires a separate checkbox. Cold-start handling waits for the configured runtime.

Scope the new device shortcuts to the focused trusted app window; bound pending APK opens and stop accepting work during shutdown.
Repair inherited macOS Electron signatures with explicit ad-hoc signing and verify packaged application signatures before publishing. These builds remain unnotarized.
Improve bug-report forms and update Vue and related dependencies already merged since v2.4.5.
Update Electron to 43.8.3, Vite to 7.3.7, Vitest/mocker to 4.1.12, and affected transitive dependencies; the final dependency audit reports 0 vulnerabilities.

226 automated tests, type checks, production builds, and generated-icon checks passed locally. Three-platform CI and release packaging provide the platform-specific validation.
Download the package for your OS and architecture. Verify it against SHA256SUMS.txt; the release also includes an SPDX SBOM and GitHub build-provenance attestations.
Physical-device recording/installation and interactive Finder/shortcut behavior were not manually verified on hardware during this review. See release verification details.

Thanks to @Jadyli for contributing the background recording controls, macOS shortcut improvements, and APK file-opening support in #235!
