Release list
RoMacShade iOS v0.1.1 (Experimental)
Experimental iOS/iPadOS performance build.
Fixes an issue that caused effects to recompile every two seconds when the selected render size was 75% or 50%. The overlay now compares the drawable against the scaled effect dimensions and avoids rebuilding when the selected scale is unchanged.
Import the dylib into LiveContainer's per-app Tweaks folder and use Tweaks → Sign before launching. This release contains a dylib only, not a Roblox IPA.
RoMacShade iOS v0.1.0 (Experimental)
Experimental source-built iOS/iPadOS Metal effects library for LiveContainer.
- Effects default to 75% render size. The overlay offers 100%, 75%, and 50% options.
- Depth conversion follows the selected effects resolution, with bounded depth-snapshot retention.
- The dylib includes the bundled effects and presets.
To test, import RoMacShade.dylib into the Roblox app's LiveContainer Tweaks folder, then use Tweaks → Sign before launching. This release contains a dylib only; it does not contain a Roblox IPA.
Performance varies by effect and scene. The build passed the iOS device build and local preset/effect-pack checks; it has not been benchmarked on a physical iPhone.

🛡️ Security & macOS Gatekeeper Notice ("Is RoMacShade a virus?")
RoMacShade is 100% clean, safe, and contains NO malware, adware, or spyware.
Why does macOS warn me before opening?
When you download applications from the internet on macOS that are distributed outside the Mac App Store and without an Apple Developer ID subscription ($99/yr), Apple's Gatekeeper displays a standard warning on first launch:
"“RoMacShade” cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software" or "macOS cannot verify the developer of “RoMacShade”".
This is standard macOS security behavior for any independently developed community software, not an indication of a virus or threat.
