cdricms cc194f6a7b feat(apple): add direct-download macOS channel (notarized DMG + Sparkle + Homebrew)

Add a second macOS shipping channel alongside the App Store build:

- New VniDropDirect target (Release-Direct config) sharing VniDrop's sources via
  an AppBase target template; links Sparkle behind the DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION flag so
  the App Store binary never bundles a self-updater. arm64-only (core is arm64).
- Sparkle updater (SparkleUpdater.swift) + "Check for Updates" menu, compiled only
  under DIRECT_DISTRIBUTION; Info.plist SUFeedURL points at the GitHub Release
  /latest/download/appcast.xml, non-sandboxed entitlements for Developer ID.
- build-dmg.sh (archive → Developer ID export → DMG → sign → notarize → staple),
  generate-appcast.sh, and ExportOptions-DeveloperID.plist.
- apple-release.yml: on tag v*.*.*, build/notarize the DMG, publish the GitHub
  Release with appcast, and push the Homebrew cask to sudosylabs/homebrew-vnidrop.
  apple.yml gains a PR compile-check of the direct target.
- CFBundleVersion is stamped at build time as a UTC YYMMDD.HHMM timestamp for both
  channels, replacing the hand-maintained build number.
- Docs (RELEASE-MACOS.md, README), cask template + tap README, localized
  updates_check string, Makefile targets, gitignore for dist/ artifacts.

Raw Blame History

homebrew-vnidrop

Homebrew tap for VniDrop — direct, private device-to-device file and folder transfer for macOS.

This repo only holds the Homebrew cask. The app itself lives at sudosylabs/vnidrop. The cask here is updated automatically by VniDrop's release pipeline on each tagged release.

Install

brew tap sudosylabs/vnidrop
brew install --cask vnidrop

Or in one line:

brew install --cask sudosylabs/vnidrop/vnidrop

Update

VniDrop updates itself in-app via Sparkle, so you normally don't need to do anything. To update through Homebrew instead:

brew upgrade --cask vnidrop

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask vnidrop

Add --zap to also remove VniDrop's application support, cache, and preference files:

brew uninstall --zap --cask vnidrop

Requirements

macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, Apple Silicon.

What you get

The cask installs the Developer ID–signed, notarized VniDrop.app from the matching GitHub Release. App Store users should install from the Mac App Store instead — that build does not include the Sparkle self-updater.
