Tapping bit.ly/tinyurl/t.co/etc. in a description or comment previously
opened Safari even when the destination was a playable YouTube URL.
Added an opt-in "Resolve Short Links" toggle under YouTube Enhancements
(off by default) that follows the redirect on tap: if the target is a
YouTube/PeerTube/direct-media URL, open it in-app; otherwise prompt the
user before falling back to yt-dlp extraction or the browser.
Also added a confirmation dialog for non-shortener links that only
matched the loose .externalVideo yt-dlp fallback, so arbitrary web
pages in descriptions no longer silently kick off extraction.
Prompts live on NavigationCoordinator and are dual-hosted by YatteeApp
and ExpandedPlayerSheet so they remain visible whether or not the
expanded player is covering the main view.
New Release-DeveloperID configuration gates Sparkle behind a SPARKLE
compile flag so the App Store Release build stays Sparkle-free. Adds
SPUStandardUpdaterController wrapper, Check for Updates menu command,
Advanced Settings section with beta channel toggle, and a Ruby script
plus GitHub Actions job that signs each release and publishes the
appcast to gh-pages for consumption by Sparkle and Homebrew cask.
Description links to YouTube videos, channels, playlists, and external
video URLs now open in Yattee instead of Safari. When a video is
already playing, tapping a video link surfaces the existing
QueueActionSheet (Play Now / Play Next / Add to Queue) — the sheet is
hosted both at the app root and inside ExpandedPlayerSheet so it
appears above whichever layer is on screen.
Replaces the macOS TabView(.sidebarAdaptable) root with NavigationSplitView
so the Settings gear can live in the sidebar column's toolbar (next to the
sidebar toggle) instead of only appearing in HomeView's detail toolbar.
Delete the multi-page onboarding sheet. On first launch the app now
silently imports any v1 instances from UserDefaults (splitting embedded
basic-auth credentials out of the URL and into the Keychain) and then,
if the device is signed in to iCloud, shows a single alert offering to
enable sync. Accepting shows a blocking progress overlay until the
initial upload completes.
Surfaces Continue Watching, Recent Feed, and Recent Bookmarks in the
Apple TV Home top shelf when Yattee is focused. Tapping a tile opens
the video via the existing yattee://video/{id} deep link.
- New YatteeTopShelf app extension target (tvOS only). LD_ENTRY_POINT is
overridden to _NSExtensionMain; the tv-app-extension product type
defaults to _TVExtensionMain which is for the pre-tvOS-13 legacy API
and crashes modern TVTopShelfContentProvider subclasses at launch.
- Main app writes per-section JSON snapshots (capped at 10 items each)
to a shared App Group UserDefaults suite after bookmark, watch-history,
and feed-cache changes, plus an initial write on launch.
- Enabled-sections list is mirrored to the same App Group so the
extension can respect the user's selection without touching SwiftData.
- Settings → Top Shelf (tvOS only) lets the user toggle sections.
- Deep link playback shows a loading toast while video details are
fetched, and an error toast if no source is configured.
These settings don't work well on Apple TV, so exclude the
ThemeSection, AccentColorSection, and the .preferredColorScheme/.tint
modifiers from tvOS builds.
Apple requires BGTaskScheduler.register() to be called during the app
launch sequence before the run loop starts. Moving it from .onAppear
(too late) to init() prevents the crash on TestFlight builds.
