Automates the creation of Sparkle appcast files and localized release notes for macOS application updates.
This skill streamlines the macOS software distribution workflow by automatically generating Sparkle-compatible appcast.xml files from notarized build artifacts. It intelligently parses Git history to construct bilingual release notes in English and Chinese, manages Ed25519 cryptographic signatures for update security, and synchronizes all necessary assets to a distribution folder for immediate web hosting. Ideal for developers maintaining macOS applications who need a consistent, error-free method for publishing stable and beta updates.
