macOS 10.15 (Catalina) emoji update

[jsumners]

I am certain there are new emoji in the latest macOS release, 10.15. I'm not sure when I will update to the new OS. When I do, I will issue a new workflow release with the added emoji. It could be quite some time, however. I'm not keen to update to 10.15 any time soon.

I should have a machine that will be updated to macOS 10.15 within the next couple weeks or so; however, aren't we waiting on a new emojilib release first anyway?

[jsumners]

Probably. I was just putting this issue out as a notice to users. If you get to it before me, awesome.

I might pick up Parallels so I can run 10.15 in a VM for a while to test things out. If so, I’ll be able to do this sooner than later. We shall see.

Hi,
I'm no coder, but I guess updating the constantly evolving emojis must be a hassle. I've just realized that the "pinching hand" was absent from the current set here.
So I was wondering if you were aware of the workflow - seemingly dead now - Emoji Taco (https://github.com/jeeftor/EmojiTaco/).
It had a nice update feature, that I thought maybe you could get some inspiration from, if not a straightforward working solution.
Cheers.

I have a new MBP 16" arriving around the end of next week/beginning of the following week. If I don't get around to an update via Parallels before then, I'll issue an update shortly thereafter.

@bhanquier This is an OSS project. It is provided on an as-able / as-willing basis. In order to include new emoji in the workflow, the workflow must be re-built on a system running the version of macOS that includes the emoji. Until someone has access to such a machine, and time to work on the update, such an update to the workflow cannot be released. The workflow you have linked works in essentially the same manner, it just sources emoji from a different data set.

Got it! Thanks for the explanation 🙏

I do not believe we can update until this issue is resolved -- muan/emojilib#178

That, or if we can find another equivalent module.

Note: v1.9.0 is built on macOS 10.15, but that doesn't mean it includes any of the new emoji. I need to find time/energy to build a library to track the unicode releases.

Would love to see the new emoji in this excellent library, is there anything I can do to help?

[jsumners]

It’s all pretty well documented in this thread. Nothing has changed.

The emojilib issue has been resolved and released as v3.0.0. Migration notes can be found at https://github.com/muan/emojilib/releases/tag/v3.0.0
