Macus 0.4.1 fixes the installed-app crash when preparing a Windows USB. The resource loader now reads the app's packaged resources instead of depending on its temporary build directory. Missing Windows writer resources produce an error instead of crashing. The same resource fix covers the image catalog and diagnostics toolkit export.

Downloads and installation

  • Macus-0.4.1-arm64.dmg — recommended installer for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. Quit Macus, open the DMG, drag Macus into Applications and replace the old version. Reopen Macus and retry preparing your Windows USB.
  • Macus-0.4.1-arm64.zip — the same signed application as a ZIP.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 checksums for both downloads.

The app and DMG are Developer ID signed, Apple-notarized and carry validated stapled tickets.

Validation

34 Swift tests passed, including relocated-app resource lookup and missing-resource checks. A separate packaged-app smoke check loaded the Windows writer, catalog and toolkit outside the build directory with the SwiftPM fallback disabled. Code signatures and notarization tickets were verified. This does not replace a physical Windows USB installation test.

PC diagnostics

Quick Scan 1.1 is unchanged. Existing diagnostic USBs do not need to be recreated for this Mac app update. The boot image remains separate to keep Macus small:

No Windows installer image is included.
