It provides a native and extensible approach to managing app updates, with support for signed feeds, automatic installation, custom UI, and flexible integration into existing apps.\n\n\u003e **Looking to distribute macOS app updates without relying on external binaries or Objective-C?**\n\u003e SwiftUpdateKit offers a Swift-first, transparent, and fully notarization-compliant solution.\n\n### Requirements\n\n- Swift 6.0 or later\n- Xcode 16 or later\n- macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later\n- HTTPS-hosted update feed\n- Signed and notarized application bundle\n\n\u003e [!TIP] **Need to generate update feeds?**\n\u003e SwiftUpdateKit includes a built-in command-line tool (`swift-update-gen`) for generating and signing feeds directly from your release artifacts.\n\n## Installation\n\n## Adoption\n\n## Testing\n\n## Design\n\nSwiftUpdateKit is designed for clarity, security, and seamless integration with macOS. Its architecture follows modern Swift conventions and respects platform best practices:\n\n- **Swift-native implementation** — Written entirely in Swift, with no dependencies on the Objective-C runtime.\n- **Security-first by design** — Enforces HTTPS, verifies digitally signed update feeds, and performs SHA-256 validation on all assets.\n- **Modular architecture** — Integrate only the components your app needs, whether for silent background updates, interactive prompts, or a fully customized interface.\n- **Ready for production** — Fully compatible with signed and notarized `.app` and `.pkg` bundles, ensuring smooth deployment with Gatekeeper and system integrity protections.\n- **Self-contained** — Requires no third-party installers or scripting; built entirely on Foundation and AppKit.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome whether it’s fixing a bug, improving documentation, or suggesting new features.\n\nIf you’d like to get involved, please see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to get started.\n\nNot sure where to begin? Check out the [issues](https://github.com/N3v1/SwiftUpdateKit/issues). I’m happy to\ncollaborate and support contributors of all experience levels.\n\n### Project Status\n\nVersion `0.1.0` is the first official release of SwiftUpdateKit. Earlier versions have no source stability guarantees.\n\nBecause the SwiftUpdateKit library is under active development, source stability is only guaranteed within minor versions (for example,\nbetween `0.1.1` and `0.1.2`). If you don't want potentially source-breaking package updates, you can specify your package dependency using \n`.upToNextMinorVersion(from: \"0.1.0\")` instead.\n\nFuture minor versions of the package may introduce changes to these rules as needed.\n\n## License\n\nSwiftUpdateKit is licensed under the [Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0).\n\nYou may freely use, modify, and distribute this software under the terms of the license. See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for full details.\n\n_© 2025 Nevio Hirani and the SwiftUpdateKit contributors._","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fn3v1%2Fswiftupdatekit","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fn3v1%2Fswiftupdatekit","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fn3v1%2Fswiftupdatekit/lists"}
