D9010 VmApp 0.1.5 for macOS (Apple silicon)

The launcher is about 240 MB smaller, because the sample apps now come from the registry, where each one is updated on its own.

Changed

  • The sample apps no longer travel inside the launcher: it is a download of about 290 MB instead of 523 MB, and so is every update. Load examples now lists the sample apps from the D9010 VmApp registry (published by D9010 Inc), and you choose which to install.
  • Each sample app is downloaded and checked as it is installed, and then updates from the registry by itself, so an app can be fixed without a new launcher. Load examples needs the internet; Install from file… still works without it.
  • Browse registry… shows the company of a verified publisher, for example "D9010 Inc · Verified: d9010.com", and nothing for a publisher nobody has verified. The word "unverified" is gone.
  • An app's card no longer shows the publisher that the app's own package claims; the install review still shows it, as a claim.

Added

  • Apps of any size up to 512 MiB can be published to the registry: Publish… and vmapp publish send a large package in parts. The VS Code sample (402 MB) is published that way.

Download and install

Needs macOS 13.0 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon.

  1. Download D9010-VmApp-Launcher-0.1.5-mac-arm64.zip (285 MB) from the assets below.
  2. Optional: download SHA256SUMS into the same folder and run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS. It must say OK.
  3. Unzip it, move D9010VmAppLauncher.app into /Applications and open it from there (an app opened straight from Downloads cannot update itself). The first time, macOS asks you to confirm that you downloaded it from the internet: choose Open.
  4. Click Load examples, tick the sample apps you want and choose Install selected. Installing allows nothing: each app asks for what it needs the first time you launch it.

Once installed, the launcher tells you when a newer version is available (a card appears with what changed). Nothing is downloaded or restarted without your click, and the check sends nothing about you; you can turn it off in Host Capabilities.
