What's Changed in v1.0.1

  • Apple HIG Standard macOS App Icon: Redesigned the application icon adhering strictly to Apple's official 1024×1024 macOS icon template with an 824×824 continuous squircle and baked multi-layer depth shadow, eliminating artificial grey container plates and border artifacts across Launchpad, Finder, Dock, Spotlight, and Application Switcher.
  • Dock Icon & Dev Mode Isolation: Cleaned up runtime Dock icon resolution and ensured the native .icns bundle completely drives system presentation across all states.
  • Multi-Display & Sidecar Menu Bar Fix: Eliminated the white menu bar background glitch when extending desktop/screensharing to iPad Sidecar or secondary displays.
  • Display Sync & Persistence: Improved display ID detection across restarts and dynamic display reconnects. Added 'Apply to All Displays' quick button.
  • 4K Video Preview Buffering Indicator: Added a visual spinner and buffering feedback for high-resolution video preview streaming.
  • Gatekeeper Code Signing: Configured valid ad-hoc cryptographic signing for all binaries, helper apps, native bindings, and the native screen saver.
