What's new in About This Hack 1.1.1
Feb 13, 2024
- No changes, just notarization! As you may know, as a student, I don't have the funds to buy an Apple Developer License and properly sign my apps. As a result, my apps often get revoked or blocked by Gatekeeper. Hopefully this will change, but for the foreseeable future, I will have to make do with a free apple dev account.
- Thanks to someone on my Discord, however, we have a notarized build of v1.1.0 that I am calling v1.1.1!
