You can also use Patrick Wardle's KnockKnock utility to scan for any hidden autostart items. Source: about 1 year ago

A nice free tool to check these kind of things is KnockKnock by Patrick Wardle (who’s a well-known Mac security researcher). It scans all the persistent-app areas and checks them against VirusTotal, will warn you about anything shady: Https://objective-see.org/products/knockknock.html. Source: over 1 year ago

You can try KnockKnock from Objective-See - I see in another response you're already using Lulu from the same developer. Source: over 1 year ago

So much effort, just to run Xcode remotely. For those of you who want to ship code to macOS from CI (e.g. Electron apps), you should check out my companies product at https://hydraulic.dev/ ... It lets you package, sign, notarize and upload self-updating Mac apps from any OS including Linux. Amongst other things it bundles Sparkle on the fly also, so you don't have to deal with Squirrel, and it can do the same... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I work on a tool that simplifies deploying desktop apps, and we're looking at what improvements the Electron community might benefit from the most. It'd be great to get feedback on where your biggest pain points are and what you'd find most valuable in such a tool. Source: 8 months ago

So it can sign, notarize and staple the app itself, also bundling Sparkle updates as it... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

What do you think is a fair price for a solo dev trialling a small app? I'm asking because my firm makes a competitor to ToDesktop (sort of) [1], and this is a question we often get. It's free for open source apps and cheaper than ToDesktop, but the "I just want to trial an idea and not spend any money on it" use case isn't well supported by this pricing model. One possibility is a trial period, but then how long... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Apple bundles compared to Flatpaks: • Both use reverse DNS to globally identify themselves, neither actually verifies DNS ownership. • Almost everything is a bundle, except for CLI apps. FlatPaks on the other hand are being auto-converted from previous packaging systems. • Bundles don't have dependencies. In theory they can, but in practice they never do. You depend on macOS/iOS as a unitary platform and bundles... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
