stemdeckapp/stemdeck

[!NOTE]
This is a macOS-only fix. It corrects the first-run runtime download on macOS and changes nothing for Windows. Windows users should stay on the previous release (0.7.0 Alpha 12) - there is no reason to update.

[!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 13

Fixes

• More reliable first-run runtime download (macOS). The download URL baked into the app pointed at the project's old repository name and only kept working through a GitHub redirect we do not control. It now points directly at the current repository, so a future change to that redirect can no longer break the one-time runtime download. No action needed; existing installs are unaffected. (#199)

Installing

• macOS: drop the .app into Applications and launch (run the xattr command above first).
• Windows: unzip the downloaded .zip, then run StemDeck.exe from the extracted folder.

Artifact build

• macOS arm64 and x64 DMGs and runtime packs were built and inspected on a macOS Woodpecker agent before upload.

Artifact scan

• Windows portable packages were scanned with ClamAV in CI before upload.
