System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

MacOS apps often lack a simple, predictable way to inform users about newer versions without complicating the release process. This skill provides a lightweight pattern to expose the current version, fetch the latest version from a defined source, and present an unobtrusive update prompt, enabling a smooth in-app update experience without full auto-update integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Show current version within the app UI or About screen
  • Fetch/latest version from a stable source (feed, API, or release metadata)
  • Display an update available state and guide users to download or view release notes
  • Plan verification and rollback for updates, including testing and safe fallback

Quick Start

Configure your macOS app to expose its current version, publish a latest-version feed, and prompt users when an update is available.
