Finally, we have an independent Universal app now! 🥳
Meaning you can run this on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs with the same app, and without having to install anything else!
Because I built this on macOS 12.4, the minimum requirement is 12.0. (sorry Big Sur users...) Single-architecture versions are also included for your convenience.
Shortly after releasing for the first time, I found out that macdeployqt existed and saved you from headache caused by relinking every single shared libraries and frameworks with install_name_tool. But at that time, I had issues getting heimdall statically compiled and I had schoolworks to do so I didn't mind it much anymore. Now that I tried building some Qt and X11-based Linux apps on macOS, I also tried revisiting this. So I built Heimdall, copied and relinked its dependencies with macdeployqt. Instead of compiling heimdall statically, I copied it and libusb to the app, relinked them and wrote a little wrapper script that will add the MacOS folder to heimdall-frontend's PATH. Then I built another one with Homebrew running on Rosetta and glue them with CLT built-in lipo tool. (it actually involved some shell scripting because lipo only deals with Mach-O binaries)
Instructions for building is coming soon! Don't forget to check my other new Universal builds like QTalarm, kdiff3, textmate-wakatime, pumpkin and more. Enjoy!
