ChannelDeck 0.2.1 (build 3) is now available as a Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized Mac download. Both the app and DMG have stapled notarization tickets and pass Gatekeeper. This remains a testing prerelease.

Requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. FFmpeg is included; Xcode and Homebrew are not required.

Download and install

Quit an older running copy, open the DMG, and drag ChannelDeck into Applications. Open the app and confirm macOS's normal first-open prompt. This notarized distribution should not require an Open Anyway exception.

No playlists, accounts, or subscriptions are included. Add your own authorized playlist. The DMG installs the Mac app; it does not install the Apple TV app.

Verification

  • Developer ID signatures, hardened runtime, secure timestamps, and app and DMG notarization tickets were verified.
  • Gatekeeper accepted both the disk image and its mounted app as Notarized Developer ID. macOS's syspolicy_check distribution passed all checks.
  • The app launched from the final DMG and loaded the existing library.
  • Bundled FFmpeg passed H.264/AAC encoding and decoding checks using Apple frameworks and a minimal environment.
  • The application source passed 213 Mac tests; two opt-in tests were skipped, with no failures. Final artifact checksums and sharing-bundle contents were verified.
  • Installation on a separate clean Mac has not been tested.

App source was built from 61c8ed268b9f3ac2dc4d83331a39921a68b7fe59. The release tag also includes the signing workflow and distribution documentation; application code is unchanged from that build.
