⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MACOS USERS
To ensure Phoenix continues to work properly, you must update Phoenix's environment variables. The recommended way to do this is via the environment update script, which can be ran with the following command in your terminal:
/bin/zsh -c "$(curl --cert-status --doh-cert-status --no-insecure --no-proxy-insecure --no-sessionid --no-ssl --no-ssl-allow-beast --no-ssl-auto-client-cert --no-ssl-no-revoke --no-ssl-revoke-best-effort --proto -all,https --proto-default https --proto-redir -all,https --show-error -sSL https://gitlab.com/celenityy/Phoenix/-/raw/pages/installer_scripts/osx_env_up.sh)"
Note that this ONLY impacts macOS users.
Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your time, patience, and support.
