SideRefresh v0.2.0-beta.2 — Apache-2.0 source preview

This source-only prerelease changes SideRefresh's licensing and distribution
notices. It does not change the supported renewal workflow or add a downloadable
Mac application.

License change

  • Source code and prose documentation are licensed under Apache License 2.0
    beginning with this release.
  • NOTICE records project attribution.
  • The SideRefresh name, logo, icons, screenshots, and other visual identity
    follow the separate brand policy.
  • Versions through v0.2.0-beta.1 remain available under their original MIT
    terms; their tags and release records have not changed.
  • App and Headless build outputs now include LICENSE, NOTICE, and
    BRAND_POLICY.md.

Apache-2.0 permits use, modification, commercial distribution, and private
forks. It adds an explicit contributor patent grant and requires applicable
notices and changed-file identification. It does not require forks to publish
their source.

Requirements

  • macOS 13 or later.
  • Xcode 16.2 or a compatible Swift 6 toolchain.
  • An Apple Account Personal Team configured in Xcode.
  • One physical iPhone paired and trusted in Xcode with Developer Mode enabled.
  • One successful installation from Xcode before enabling automatic refresh.

Build and run

swift test
Scripts/validate-samples.sh
Scripts/build-app.sh
open dist/SideRefresh.app

The generated app is ad-hoc signed for local source builds. This prerelease has
no downloadable Developer ID-signed and notarized binary asset and does not ask
users to bypass Gatekeeper.

Scope and limitations

  • One user-owned app, one Xcode project or workspace, and one paired iPhone.
  • Initial pairing, trust, Developer Mode, and the first Xcode installation
    remain user-controlled prerequisites.
  • Tailscale discovery is optional and experimental and does not replace Apple
    signing or CoreDevice pairing.
  • No third-party IPA installation, permanent signing, fleet management,
    Xcode-free operation, or Apple Account password collection.
  • No real-device compatibility claim is added by this license-only release.

Documentation and support

Apple, Mac, iPhone, macOS, and Xcode are trademarks of Apple Inc. SideRefresh
is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple.
