Issue

newer versions of macOS have stricter requests for access system files such as external drives or even documents folder. I would like to try helping with troubleshooting or even giving a shot at trying to implement this for macOS users to give better folder access. Right now what I am seeing is I can't even download 3DS system files to an external drive even with full folder permissions. Dolphin emulator has the ability to ask for specific macOS permissions

I would like to also see if sparkle the auto update outside of App Store can be implemented for updating the app

macOS native icon that matches the design language for macOS icons

wish list item creating a native arm macos app which would require probably a lot of rewrite

Let me break these down one-by-one. Please avoid making these issue that address a load of different things, as it makes tracking progress really annoying, and please use the correct issue format.

  1. Please create a bug report for just the permissions thing if this negatively affects functionality
  2. We already have an update checker
  3. We've already had discussions internally about updating the icon on MacOS, but it is not a priority and will be handled by us
  4. The MacOS version is already native on ARM???
  5. There is another issue open for the files: Unify all macOS contents within one .app #672

I will now be closing the issue as invalid due to the variety of topics addressed here.

    I just did that sorry for the confusion there.
  2. We already have an update checker
    -Where is the check for updates option for azahar? I don't see that under Help or anywhere else in the app for check for updates on macOS
  3. We've already had discussions internally about updating the icon on MacOS, but it is not a priority and will be handled by us
    -That seems fair
  4. The MacOS version is already native on ARM???
    I didn't realize that it was written for arm I thought it was still a hybrid or old x86 instruction
  5. There is another issue open for the files: Unify all macOS contents within one .app #672> > I will now be closing the issue as invalid due to the variety of topics addressed here.
  • I thought we could make this into a check mark list for handling improving macos, however I just submitted the bug for folder permissions.
