As a user, I would like to be notified of a new release/update and download it

Not sure how other devs do this, or manage auto update handling, but it would be cool at least to just check if a new release is available. Maybe check for N+1 on the release patch version? Or any major/minor version for that matter, the UI could respond to that and say as such depending on what the latest build version is in comparision to the current one.

Okay this looks really neat: https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle

Ah, requires app signing... https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/#3-segue-for-security-concerns which is fair play given what its being tasked to do without explicit user interaction.

I really should get this setup anyway to close #12 and it would help with #15 (if not a necessity there too!)

Looks like I need to get me a paid Apple developer account...

This would be handy, I've been on 1.2 for a long time :) Liking the new UI and controls!

Thanks! Glad you like it 😄 I may look at just a notifying UI in the interim, until the app can be notarised for automatic updates.

Just the notification phase could be accomplished via something like this:

https://github.com/4np/GHKit

Then the user could be prompted to just go download the update manually until a point in which the app is signed.
