Notes
- Built from
release/app-store-rc@cbbad7f, the branch that produced MeowDisplay 1.20.0 for iPhone and iPad. - Updates: the apps use Sparkle with MeowDisplay's own signed feeds. Future releases will be offered in-app after you allow update checks.
- Mac-to-iPhone is the primary tested setup. iPad and the standalone Mac Receiver need broader hardware validation.
