Added

  • Intel Macs are supported. Releases now ship two apps —
    -macos-arm64.zip and -macos-x86_64.zip — and both nested Swift helpers are
    universal binaries. There is no single universal app: the bundle vendors a
    per-architecture CPython and uv publishes no universal2 build, so one bundle
    would have to carry two Pythons.
  • A PyPI wheel that actually works. It carries the signed, notarized
    MusicKit helper beside the module, so pipx install is a full install rather
    than one missing its main rail. This was previously believed impossible; it
    turns out the helper is 148K and four files, with its signature and
    notarization ticket all in regular files, so it survives a wheel intact.
    Verified on both architectures with a live, Apple-validated API call.
  • A landing page at https://jaminben.github.io/secure-applemusic-mcp-for-osx/
    for people who want to know what it does rather than evaluate the source.

Fixed

  • Intel installs were broken by an upstream dependency, on both channels.
    mcp requires pyjwt[crypto], which pulls cryptography, and cryptography
    stopped publishing Intel macOS wheels at version 49 — so any Intel install
    tried to compile Rust from source and failed. Pinned by marker on Intel only,
    so Apple Silicon keeps current upstream.
  • The jwt import is now lazy and pyjwt/cryptography moved to a dev-token
    extra. It is used at exactly one line, on the optional developer-token rail,
    and a module-level import made it a hard requirement of every install.

Changed

  • One command builds and ships a release. make release-assets builds both
    architectures, notarizes and staples each, zips from the stapled bundle,
    builds the wheel with its own notarized helper, writes checksums, and can
    attach it all to the tag. It ends by setting the quarantine bit on each zip
    and asking Gatekeeper — the check that catches a zip made before stapling,
    which is a mistake this project had made in every release to date.
  • docs/COMPARISON.md corrected: Cifero74 can put a catalog track in your
    library, via add_tracks_to_playlist with track_type: "songs" — the same
    mechanism this fork uses. The differentiator is unchanged and narrower than
    the obvious claim: this is the only one that does it with no credential of
    any kind.
  • The README leads with a real conversation instead of the installer window, and
    documents pip/pipx/uvx for the first time.
