Mac users with the desktop app, 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 will need to be manually updated due to a bug (lemmy.ml)

I broken the automatic update mechanism in 1.8.1. It's fixed in 1.8.3.

If you are on 1.8.1 or 1.8.2 and want more automatic updates, you can download 1.8.3 manually

After downloading 1.8.3, automatic updates should start to work again. If you happen to still be on 1.8.0 you shouldn't have to do anything.

Sorry for the inconvenience. PieFed support is coming soon. If you're interested, I encourage you to opt back into automatic updates.

The Mac app prompts you to update on launch when it sees a new release on GitHub. Except for versions 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 which I broke the update mechanism that checks GitHub releases.

I’m starting with the devices/distribution platforms I’m familiar with. I’m an iPhone user and I know my way around the App Store. I also do Google Play releases for my day job. I have to learn how to setup the other distribution methods. F-Droid will likely be next since a significant number of people have asked for it.

I know iOS + Lemmy is a weird combo, but that’s who I am. I love FOSS software and I also love Apple’s design language. So I’m starting from there, but I would like to remove any single point of failure (e.g. if Apple removed my app for some reason).
