Homebrew Cask support for macOS

[sambokai]

Hi,

I was wondering whether you would be open to adding official Homebrew Cask support for ART on macOS, so users could install it with something like:

brew install --cask art

I looked into this briefly, but the current official macOS DMG on GitHub appears to be unsigned, and the ART.app bundle inside it also fails Gatekeeper checks:

ART-1.26.6_macOS-14.8_arm64.dmg: rejected
source=no usable signature

ART.app: code object is not signed at all
ART.app: rejected
source=no usable signature

So I assume the official GitHub macOS release artifacts would need to be signed/notarized before ART could be accepted into Homebrew Cask.

Note

Also, the iCloud link for the third-party notarized macOS builds on the downloads page seems to be broken. After clicking “Accept invite”, iCloud says the shared folder is no longer available or I do not have permission.

Would you be interested in supporting Homebrew Cask distribution officially, or is this currently out of scope for the project?

Hi
I'm open to have this, yes, but I'm not interested in having an apple developer account or whatever is needed to sign the binaries, so I guess this is a show stopper?

Thanks, that makes sense and yes it's probably a blocker for official homebrew/cask.

Would you consider a project-owned tap instead? The app would still need to be manually approved on first launch, but that is already the case with the current macOS distribution anyway.

The main benefit would be that users could install, update, and uninstall ART through Homebrew, e.g. brew install --cask artraweditor/art/art, even if it is not part of the official homebrew/cask tap. Using third-party taps is a fairly common and well-supported Homebrew workflow, especially for open-source software.

Yes, if a PR comes I would be happy to accept it :-)
