2.6.0 Further Sonoma Improvements
Changes:
- Perform Gatekeeper scan to pre-warm app launch (#2505) (Zorg)
- Disable sandboxing for the Downloader XPC service by default to fix downloader prompt warnings about “Downloader” differing from previously opened versions (#2511) (Zorg)
- Store private seed as the secret for newly generated keys (#2472) (Zorg)
- Improve signing error message to developers if they serve the wrong update file (#2471) (Zorg)
- Prevent app modification warnings from external updaters (like sparkli-cli) by improving installation (#2516) (Zorg)
- Update Korean localization (#2504) (CheolHyun Mun)
- Use $PROJECT_DIR instead of $SRCROOT (#2489) (Zorg)
- Set Package.swift minimum deployment to macOS 10.13 (#2481) (Eitot)
- Fix false positive analyzer warning about resumableUpdate type (#2454) (Zorg)
This update is recommended for sandboxed apps that enable Sparkle's Downloader XPC Service because it fixes a bug where an app may show a "Downloader" differing from previously opened versions prompt warning. The sandboxing guide for the Downloader Service and Code Signing has been updated.
For users running macOS 14.4 or later, a Gatekeeper scan is performed on the new update before installing it, which may skip a "Verifying.." dialog when relaunching the app.
