Software Updates

Official update feeds for 1 Take on Windows and macOS. The desktop app checks these HTTPS locations for signed release metadata and matching installer packages.

Release status

Update channels are being prepared

No release manifests are published yet. The feed URLs will return 404 until a release build and its manifest are uploaded. This is expected before the first update is issued.

Release publishing

Keep the feed reliable

Each platform has a separate feed. The generated manifest contains exact artifact filenames and checksums, so keep those names unchanged.

  1. 1Build the signed release using the versioned 1 Take application source.
  2. 2Copy the generated installers, ZIP archives, and blockmaps into the matching platform folder, preserving the exact filenames listed in the YAML manifest.
  3. 3Upload the platform manifest last: latest.yml for Windows and latest-mac.yml for macOS.
  4. 4Verify the manifest URL returns plain YAML over HTTPS, then test an update from the previous installed version.

Before release

Signing, caching, and update checks

Signed macOS builds

macOS auto-updates require the application to be signed and notarized. The updater installs from ZIP archives, not DMG files; DMGs are optional for first-time installs.

Fresh manifests

The two YAML manifest endpoints are configured with no-cache response headers so clients revalidate and can discover new releases promptly.

End-to-end test

Install the prior version on one Mac and one Windows PC, publish a newer build, then confirm each app detects the update, restarts, and reports the new version.

Verify the feeds after publishing

Open the manifest URLs above from a browser. Each should return HTTP 200 and display plain YAML text, not an HTML page or a redirect. A 404 is expected until the first release is uploaded.

  • Upload packages before manifests
  • Preserve filenames and checksums
