This package provides (incomplete) go bindings for Sparkle created by Andy Matuschak.
Sparkle is a secure and reliable software update framework for Cocoa developers.
See https://sparkle-project.org/ for more information about Sparkle.
See the GoDoc and Sparkle's documentation (you can ignore point 1 & 2 in the docs).
Download the Sparkle framework from https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/releases/2.5.1 and
move the Sparkle.framework directory from the archive into your bundle's Frameworks directory
(e.g. YourBundle.app/Contents/Frameworks/).
Configure Sparkle's defaults using your bundle's Info.plist (see
https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/customization/). Only use the functions this package
exposes to allow your users to change the defaults.
Ensure your binary is built with CGO_LDFLAGS set to -Wl,-rpath,@loader_path/../Frameworks e.g.
CGO_LDFLAGS='-Wl,-rpath,@loader_path/../Frameworks' go build .Publish your updates as an appcast. See https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/publishing/.
See the example for more details.
Sparkle requires a Cocoa run loop to work and as such can only be used by Go apps with a Cocoa UI such as webview/webview or therecipe/qt.
The Get prefix was removed from all function names to make them match C functions in the Sparkle
framework e.g. GetFeedURL is now FeedURL etc.
