hewigovens/app-detective 1.4.0

on GitHub

What's new

Command-line tool

• New appdetective binary for analyzing a single .app bundle: name, bundle id, version, size, category, and tech stacks.
• --json output for agents and automation.
• Install it from App Detective → Install Command Line Tool… (symlinks into ~/.local/bin, no admin password).

Auto-updates

• App Detective now checks for new releases via Sparkle. Use App Detective → Check for Updates… for an explicit check; automatic checks are on by default.

Under the hood

• Detection logic moved to a shared DetectiveCore Swift package used by both the app and the CLI.
• Hardened release tooling — sign_update failures now surface real diagnostics, and just release-dry-run produces an ad-hoc-signed candidate locally without touching the notary or GitHub.
