Shield Optimizer v2-2.0.0-beta.14

pre-release9 hours ago

Added

  • Auto-updater — the app now checks for updates on launch using Tauri's
    signed updater. An "Auto-update" checkbox in the header controls whether
    updates download automatically; an "Update now" button appears when one is
    available. Builds are signed with an Ed25519 key.
  • Network scan after ADB install — installing platform-tools now
    automatically scans the local network for devices, matching boot behavior.
  • Dev toolingMakefile (make dev, make brew, make setup) and
    .nvmrc for consistent Node versions.
  • appops commands — new set_app_op / get_app_op Tauri commands for
    future use (AppOps-level permission control).

Fixed

  • Tweaks: Nvidia System Hooks description — corrected from "disables
    Netflix button" to its actual function (Xbox controller Guide → Home
    remapping). The Shield remote's Netflix button is firmware-level and cannot
    be disabled via ADB.

First-run warnings

These builds are unsigned. Your OS may complain on first launch:

  • macOS (Gatekeeper): the first-launch dialog on macOS 15+ only offers "Move to Trash" or "Done" — click Done, then either:
    • Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Shield Optimizer.app" (one-time, then double-click as normal)
    • GUI: System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to the "Shield Optimizer was blocked" message → Open Anyway → enter password
  • Windows (SmartScreen): "More info" → "Run anyway".
  • Linux: chmod +x ShieldOptimizer*.AppImage before running.

See the v2 README for setup and feature docs.
