Full Changelog: 0.181.5...0.181.6

Desktop app (macOS)

  • Download vtcode-desktop-0.181.6-aarch64-apple-darwin.zip (Apple Silicon, macOS 15+), unzip, and drag VT Code.app to Applications.
  • One-time macOS security step: this build is ad hoc signed (no Developer ID), so Gatekeeper blocks the first launch. Allow it once in System Settings > Privacy & Security (Open Anyway), then open the app again. See FIRST-LAUNCH.txt inside the zip.
  • The bundle includes its matching vtcode CLI helper; open the app anytime with vtcode desktop.
  • Verify with vtcode-desktop-0.181.6-aarch64-apple-darwin.zip.sha256 or checksums.txt.
