Sparkle feeds

The Sparkle feed URL requires a reference to an application, and a channel:

/apps/:url_slug/:channel_url_slug/appcast.xml

Release notes

Adding and editing release notes

Release notes are just a text field that each build has. They can be found under Builds in the administration area.

The release notes will be rendered with Markdown.

The URL

The URL for rendered release notes can be found by viewing a build in the administration area. The URL takes the following form:

/apps/:url_slug/:channel_url_slug/release-notes/:version.html

Notice that the app URL and channel URL slugs must be included.

Downloads

Builds can be downloaded using the following URL:

/apps/:url_slug/:channel_url_slug/download/:version/:filename

This URL is generated and included in the Sparkle feed as the url attribute on the enclosure element.
