🖥 macOS Installation Guide

⚠️ This app has only been tested on macOS. It is currently unsigned and not notarized, so additional steps are required to run it.

Steps

1. Download the latest release from the Releases page and extract it to your desired location.

2. Move the GitHub Issue Alert.app to your Applications folder.

3. If you try to open the app, you may see the error:

   "GitHub Issue Alert is damaged and can't be opened."

   

   To fix this, run the following command in your terminal:

   sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/GitHub Issue Alert.app"

4. If the app opens but fails to send notification alerts, run the following command to sign it locally:

   sudo codesign --deep --force --sign - "/Applications/GitHub Issue Alert.app"

Once these steps are completed, restart the app and it should function normally and send GitHub issue alerts as expected.
