Changed

  • Releases are now signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. macOS no longer blocks the first launch, so the xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine workaround is gone.
  • Signing is now done by xcodebuild archive and export instead of codesign --deep. Sparkle documents --deep as a common source of signing errors, because the XPC services it bundles have different requirements from the rest of the app. Sparkle's framework, updater and helper tools are now signed inside-out.
  • The repository moved to TerrifiedBug/tickerbar and the release asset is now tickerbar.zip. GitHub redirects the old paths, so existing installs keep updating.

Removed

  • Dropped the App Sandbox entitlements and the sandbox-only Sparkle installer service. No released build was ever sandboxed, because the old ad-hoc signing step applied no entitlements at all. Signing correctly would have switched the sandbox on for the first time and moved preferences into ~/Library/Containers, losing every existing watchlist, holding and alert. TickerBar ships through Developer ID rather than the App Store, where the sandbox is optional.
