Note that "Source Code (zip)" and "Source Code (tar.gz)" links contain incomplete code due to GitHub's mishandling of git submodules. GitHub forces these links on us, and we can't remove them. Please ignore these broken archives. Get the code with git clone --recursive https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle instead.

This build is for Intel Macs only. Sparkle supports Apple Silicon (ARM) if you compile it yourself using the latest Xcode beta.
