Important
macOS first launch (no code signing yet). After dragging StemDeck to Applications, clear the Gatekeeper quarantine flag or macOS will say the app is damaged:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/StemDeck.app
Upgrading from alpha.9 or earlier? If after installing you still see an old version or are missing recent features, clear the cached runtime once and relaunch:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/StemDeck/runtime ~/Library/Application\ Support/StemDeck/runtime.old
Optional: fresh-install cleanup. To reproduce a true first-run with no leftover state, open each path in Finder via the Go menu, then Go to Folder (Shift+Cmd+G), and move the folders to Trash:
~/Library/Application Support/StemDeck~/Library/WebKit/app.stemdeck.desktop~/Library/Caches/stemdeck~/Library/Caches/app.stemdeck.desktop
You can also delete ~/Library/Preferences/app.stemdeck.desktop.plist the same way. This is optional; the app will work without it.
What's new in 0.7.0 Alpha 14
Supporters
- Two new supporters. Joao Gaspar (Producer/Film Scorer, Touring/Session Musician) and Kris Luthier (Luthier and Musical Instrument Repair, Lisboa) join the Supporters dialog, each linking to their Instagram. (#200)
- Reworked tile layout. Tiles now show an optional role under the name and lay out as a staggered, gallery-wall style grid so taller cards no longer leave big gaps. (#200)
Fixes (macOS)
- More reliable first-run runtime download. The download URL baked into the app now points directly at the current repository instead of relying on a redirect from the old repository name. No action needed; existing installs are unaffected. (#199)
