Release Checklist

This is the procedure for doing a release.

1. Update the project version from Xcode's project pane

   Update both Version and Build (Sparkle seems to be referring to the build.)

2. Archive and Notarize app

   • With Distribute App > Developer ID

3. Create a tag for the release and push that tag.

4. Create a Github release page.

5. Create a zip file of the nolarized app on local (not the github page) and upload it to Asset.

   • The checksum of the zip file will be requested by appcast.

6. Generate appcast file with generate_appcast command.

7. Publish release on GitHub.

8. Update generated appcast.xml 's <enclosure url="..."> to release asset URL.

9. Add new appcast.xml to git and push.

10. If needed, create release-note.html for Sparkle update.
